Plasticland. At first, Plasticland were a mystery to me. I passed by a poster in the window of the Metropole Theater on Oakland Ave. one afternoon in 1980 and I saw this Plasticland poster. I thought it was left over from the 1960's, which intrigued me even more. I really thought that no one would be doing psychedelic music in the 1980s. It was the time for punk, hardcore - the hippie radio stations were going commercial (ZMF was gone, welcome the new age of WLPX and "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner 24/7). But when I finally saw the band, I was hooked.

Plasticland has stuck to their paisley guns through decades of new sounds and movements and because of that, they've earned a well-deserved worldwide following. They didn't play out on a regular basis, so every show was a performance not to be missed.
