Thanks for the invite "The Plastic Pals". In your profile you asked a couple of questions and my answer to one them is: I am a vocalist who is looking for band. I definately have the talent to be a professional singer and I am looking at…

- "These guys rock, in the vanguard of what seems to be a paisley Viking invasion, still wielding axes but these days they are plugged in and making glorious noises" Rob Ellen, The Medicine Show: http://www.themedicineshow.eu
Manna from guitar heaven for friends and fans of The Long Ryders, The Dream Syndicate, Flamin Groovies, The Velvets and Television. Paisley/Powerpop/Psych/New York-Rock/Post-Punk/Garage. Magic melodies with a dark edge from this band from Stockholm, Sweden.
The Plastic Pals released their debut album GOOD KARMA CAFÉ in 2008. An americana-tinged affair and a huge step forward for the band, while yet staying true to the twin guitar-paisley-garage-powerpop-New York rock-ideals as presented on the EP THE BAND THATS FUN TO BE WITH (2006). A collection of magic melodies with a dark edge.
The sound of The Plastic Pals continues to attract an increasing number of fans worldwide. A rootsy classic guitar-laden rock sound that takes you on a time capsule from the 50s to the present. The band has been compared to bands and artists like Echo&The Bunnymen, Television, The Dream Syndicate, The Velvet Underground, Green on Red, The Godfathers, Blue Oyster Cult, Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello. Too rootsy to be called garage, too poppy to be called rootsy, too garage rocking to be called americana or alt-country.
The album GOOD KARMA CAFÉ – with guest appearances by Green on Red´s keyboard maestro Chris Cacavas) – has received really good reviews, in Sweden as well as in the UK, The Netherlands, Belgium and Italy. Tunes from the album have received airplay and/or is receiving airplay in the USA (WFMU and WFNX), the UK (BBC6 and the House for Mercy show at Total Radio), Greece, Spain, Sweden, Germany, Holland, Belgium and France – with A-rotaion for months on a radio station in Lyon.
The Plastic Pals have been support band to The New Christs (Australia) - with members who have played with Radio Birdman and Barracudas. They have also backed ex-Long Ryder Sid Griffin on a set of Long Ryders tunes on a paisley underground celebration at The Windmill, Brixton.
Instrumentation:
Håkan "Hawk" Soold: lead vocals, guitar
Olov Öqvist: drums
Anders Sahlin: guitar, backing vocals
Bengt Alm: bass, backing vocals

- Thanks for the invite "The Plastic Pals". In your profile you asked a couple of questions and my answer to one them is: I am a vocalist who is looking for band. I definately have the talent to be a professional singer and I am looking at relocating to try to do so. I sing most of the styles of music that exsists, and I am a very versitile singer in range and the different sounds I can produce with my voicebox i.e. rasp, vibretto, no vibretto, clear vocals and the ability to hold notes for a long period of time when and if necessary, I have about 5 octaves. I love to perform on stage, I am very dedicated to my craft and I'm willing to do almost anything to sing for a living. Anyways... good luck with your upcoming shows and I wish all the best to you guys, from: Blair.
