| AUGUST, 2008 UPDATES |
31-Aug-2008: Steve Lovelace, my brother & mad scientist drummer of Plastica, has completed a project months in the making: a massive red custom Simmons drumset made from a hexagonal cage of PVC piping. The pipes are painted to look like Eddie Van Halen's "Frankenstein" guitar, and the effect is pants-crappingly stupefying. Check out its PHOTO in my album! The local CT band scene can't possibly imagine what's coming when we start gigging.
And as a matter of fact, we actually already have, sort of. We played last week at a private party called, oddly enough, "Pigstock." It was just this big ol' down-home pig roast in some guy's back yard, with big tents everywhere, and about 100 people marinating in Budweiser and porkmeats. Plastica played 16 songs, put on a big laser-light show, and I even whipped out the keytar for a tune. You can sift through over 50 PICTURES of the event over at the PLASTICA MYSPACE PAGE.

19-Aug-2008: Fans of progger Gods Dream Theater will be horrified by the latest YOUTUBE VIDEO by your favorite toy-rock jerks in the whole world, Plastica. It's a little ditty from 1994 called "Erotomania." A disturbingly large percentage of RAB fans were born right around the time it came out. This fills me with a sort of numb rage.

13-Aug-2008: Get a load of this obtuse little cacophony: a new YOUTUBE VIDEO featuring three out of five Plastica honkweasels "performing" YYZ (the infamous Rush instrumental prog-rock epic from 1980), on nothing but cheap, crap-ass, out-of-tune, primarily pink plastic Barbie toys (and beer bottles).
By the way, today marks the fourth anniversary of my super-duper car accident where I turned my leg into a delicious ham salad. Hooray!
