After a million years of free-floating in space from galaxy to galaxy, at last the mothership of The Plastic Pals has found a permanent crew and a permanent base in of all places in the Universe Stockholm, Sweden. This eminent outofthisworldish four-piece guitar rock combo was formed in Spring 2005 when songwriter/guitarist/singer Håkan Soold (ex Guds Barn and Dom Dummaste, currently apart from this band playing with two of Dom Dummaste – the most stupidest Lars Cleveman and Martin Rössel) brought together Anders Sahlin (a guitarist whom Håkan played with in a band called Piglet in the 1980s) with Swedens answer to Sly&Robbie Olov Öqvist(drummer with Caroline Says/Cleveman Rössel Band/Plåster and Wan Light) and Bengt Alm (bass player with Caroline Says/Cleveman Rössel Band and Wan Light).
Take the fiery guitars of bands like Television, The Flamin..Groovies and Gun Club and a pinch of Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground, add to a groovy boiling base of drums and bass, mix with a great sense of melody. There you have the taste and sound of The Plastic Pals.



Here comes the sun. Or at least we hope it will for us in this godforsaken Northern part of this planet. Your pals plastique live at Kafé 44, Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden December 15th 2007. Thanks b-grrrlie for sharing:

Why are your new songs always that short? Torturing Pets is a crime you know. You can get punished for that!
