"Intelligent yet accessible, full of hooks, cheeky, rockin and lots of fun!"
-Neena Rai, April 2008 (Freelance Journalist, Wall Street Journal)
"Good material with nice building rhythms; Tightly executed sets, great musicianship, good synergy and interaction with the crowd"
-JAR Music Group, March 2008
"This is a quality recording and a very good sound. Slightly American but they pull it off"
-Popworld Promotes, August 2007 (Website for Channel 4 music show 'Popworld')
Based in London, and formed in 2005, Plastic Soup has tirelessly worked the live circuit, steadily building their broad yet loyal fan base, from students to 40 year old doctors. Their live show offers rocking sets with great crowd interaction, and they are renown amongst London promoters as 'the ones to watch'.
Taking on board industry feedback from previous releases, Plastic Soup have now achieved a focussed consistency to their sound and have already attracted the attention of many national and international record labels -Island Records, IRL, and the JAR Music Group amongst them. Through the latter, Plastic Soup performed at the main stage of the Carling Academy on 20th April 2008 at a media showcase event.
The new (soon to be self-released) EP is a quality ensemble of anthems; a six song effort featuring some of the many cherries picked from their vast catalogue (about four albums worth) and recorded in collaboration with acclaimed New Zeland producer Paul Matthews (Blindspot, Tadpole, Stylus, Dempsy).
Previous dates include the Cafe de Paris, The Garage, Storm, The Dublin Castle, Wings Festival and the Crystal Palace Bowl.
An energetic four piece, Plastic Soup is fronted by Dan 'Tits of Fury' Trovato who featured on the Traci 66 single "Fake", recorded by Thin Lizzy producer Kit Wolven.
Both accomplished musicians, Dan and drummer Ajay 'Sugar Pie' Naik met at Vocaltech/Drumtech institute of music in 2005 and went on to recruit a host of bassists before finding their man in Alex 'Monkey Love Nipple' Collins. The icing on the cake was achieved by the addition of guitar hero Chris 'Candypants' Kelly who currently lives with his mum.

We have got FOUR new tunes online now though, including the (some would say controversial) frantic 'SUICIDE BOMBER' number! HERE COME THE COMPLAINTS!! Mosey on over and see if YOU think it is offensive COS WE DON'T!!!
My friend Emily was not really a friend but the friend of some stupid hacker-bastard, but I am sure you realised that!
Hows it goin guys? Did you get your 'royalties' from the download sales of the Lakeland Complilation album?? WE CAN ALL RETIRE NOW ;) HAHAHAHA

Cheers geezers

RADIO SUICIDE the new B-Movie Rats full length album is out on Rank Outsider Records and available through CD Baby! A record release show/party is being scheduled for Los Angeles Spring 2008 and an attack on South By South West 2008! .
Yeah we havent been signed or nothin since the Lakeland release so I am disappointed. hahahaha only messin! It was nice to be published so early in our career - only got our first gig on Monday 5th november so things have gone well since the CD release.
I will keep in touch and check out your new stuff - its great wen u can update your myspace songs innit? We should be doin that soon too.
Hey PS!, valued member of the 139 club(our 139 Myspace friends incase you didn't know what I was talking about!)
IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN....
But, firstly, lemme apologise for my laziness in this 'copy and paste' job but to write a new message EVERY time would take me till 9pm tonight (and it's only about 11.30am now!)
Anyway, we have had a load of new friend requests so it's time to weed out those in our list who don't really bother with us or who just don't use Myspace any more.
SO....IF YOU ARE STILL ALIVE AND YOU THINK WE'RE OK, POST SOME RANDOM SHITE ON OUR PAGE SO WE KNOW YOU CARE!
We will of course reply
"You are not a number, you are a free man!"
However in our case you ARE a number, number 33/139! ;)
Claire will be playing with the fella's again at the Jazz Cafe in Camden next thursday on 8th November.
