Planet Shakers

Planetshakers is a Christian youth movement in Australia, originally founded by Russell Evans at the Paradise Community Church (AOG/Pentecostal) in Adelaide. The ministry is now based in Melbourne, part of Planetshakers City Church. Planetshakers also has relationships with Australian Youth Alive events, which often promote the conference to tens of thousands of young people. The Planetshakers band is the central part of their events, bearing a worship-woven heavy rock sound attractive to young people. The 2003 Australian Idol winner Guy Sebastian was also a part of the Planetshakers band for several years, taking both lead and backup vocal parts on the 2002 and 2003 albums and conferences. Guy was also a part of the 2005 conference in Malaysia.
