   About Rock Plaza Central
"There's not much you can say about Rock Plaza Central that hasn't already been said. They're possibly one of the greatest bands that nobody knows and whilst they're slowly growing into a folk/rock beast of which the likes we've never seen, they still somehow retain a grounded, cohesive musical genius that you just don't see nowadays." - Strangeglue.com, July 25, 2009

When Rock Plaza Central first burst onto the scene in 2006, very few people had even heard of them. But on the strength of their live performances and their brilliant 3rd CD, Are We Not Horses, they made countless Top 10 lists in both 2006 and 2007, had their album studied in a graduate course at the University of South Alabama, and Rolling Stone called them "stars-in-waiting" after a performance at SxSW in Austin, Texas.

RPC has released four full-length CDs, including the critically acclaimed Are We Not Horses (2006), about robotic horses who think they are real horses, a prequel to that called the world was hell to us (2003), a much older disc called Quantum Butterass (1997), and a new CD called ...at the Moment of our Most Needing, or If Only They Could Turn Around, They Would Know They Weren't Alone that many reviewers are claiming to be "their best work to date"!

Yes! Beer in Colorado. The best state in the US to find it. Unfortunately, it is more than likely PBR being consumed in that photo, but i too am a Breckenridge fan, as did i find your music quite a surprise. Great stuff. Perhaps i shall see you in colorado on your next visit, or even better throw you're show...

I saw you guys, last thursday at the magic stick with the Weakerthans. Now The Weakerthans are my favorite band, but when you guys played on stage I didn't want it to stop. Fantastic music thank you.

yea that was me up front, long hair in a baby blue tee.
you all are the most ecclectic band i've ever heard and one of the best lives acts i've ever seen.  AND you made political jokes....rarely do i go to a show and get to experience intellegent talk. 
that night was one of the best of my lives...i had been waiting for seven years to see the weakerthans and to have an opening band blow me away.....well that was just the icing on the cake.
thank you all for creating amazing music.
much love and support from richmond, va,
stephanie
