The Plastics are set to release their debut full length album Shark. Produced by award winning international producer Gordon Raphael, Shark has been a year in the making and has seen the band "discovering different sounds, styles and recording techniques."
“It’s come out as a collection of music that is difficult to place in any particular time period, but as a whole, it feels like music from an era gone by that’s breaking into the 21st century.” says bassist Karl Rohloff.
In January 2010 The Plastics flew in Raphael from Berlin and recorded the album at Sound & Motion Studios in Cape Town: “We’ve been lucky enough to have the expertise and top-class environment of Sound and Motion Studios to make our ideas come to life. Fuzzy and the guys have been really awesome and have contributed in a big way towards the end product.” says Rohloff.
The first single from Shark, "Caves", was released early July 2010 and has started to receive extensive campus radio airplay as well as being play listed on many commercial radio stations countrywide.
The Plastics have already performed with the majority of South Africa’s most sought after musical acts. In their first year on the local music scene they claimed 1st prize at The Redbull Radar competition at Rocking the Daisies 2008 and were finalists in ‘The Road to V-Fest’ competition.
Shark will be launched at The Assembly in Cape Town this Saturday, 31 July. The line-up includes Captain Stu, Holiday Murray, DJ Haasbroek and DJ Lapse. Doors open at 21h00 and tickets are R50 at the door, or R40 presold on http://www.webtickets.co.za.
