The additional live band members of Ro Krom (drummer, vocalist), Rose (vocalist) and Marc (bass)--coupled with the keyboards, FX and percussion played by the band themselves--are a formidable slice of funk on the dance floor.
as the band’s sophomore record, Plastic People captures the K&S brand of future funk and features the first single “Squeeze Me.” The song is currently gaining great exposure through Rhapsody’s national TV ad campaign.
disco suave synths, hints of a string orchestra, gypsy-tinged clarinet melody and the soulful broken beat that threads its way through the music, the album also has stand-out collaborations, including “That’s My Word” which features one of their heroes, rapper Dudley Perkins. Wrote Bruce Tatum of Time Out New York (September 11-17), “From the boogie-time bounce of album opener ‘Bobby & Whitney’ to the dreamy disco of ‘Thinking Back’ through to the vaguely Eastern, synth-led exoticism of closer ‘To Everyone Who Has,’ Plastic People has a breadth and depth that puts most club-oriented albums to shame.”
Boogie Angst in 2006, they have played over 200 live band gigs, have been hailed as a “Must See Live Band,” supported the stadium-rocking Faithless on their European tour and played some of the most prestigious gigs in the U.S. last year including SXSW and shows at the Winter Music Conference.
