Editor's review

A new media art-punk group, the Plastics conceive their beat-heavy electro anthems in a video context. Such cross-medium work can beg for trouble, but on "Culture for Pigeon" the Plastics never sacrifice catchy tunes for art theory. JD Samson of Le Tigre and other genre luminaries drop deep, Peaches-like sample grooves while vocal intoxicants lurk above.

Biography

TRACY AND THE PLASTICS finally release a new record after almost two years. This special release is being released in both vinyl and CD format, with a BONUS DVD containing two original full length films designed to be played along with the record. Don't worry, the vinyl will come with a DVD as well. TRACY AND THE PLASTICS is an electronic art/new media punk band conceived and performed by Lesbian Feminist video artist Wynne Greenwood (originally from Washington State). Greenwood started the band in 1999, while running an underground moviehouse called 'The Murdra', dedicated to showing independent films and videos by Women and Queers. The music on this record is a combination of a stumbling fury of sampled drums, insistent bass loops, and weary keyboard melodies. Drum sounds sampled from Rachel Carns (KING COBRA, THE NEED), bass grooves and beats with JD Samson (LE TIGRE), and vocals recorded at Studio G by Joel Hamilton and Tony Maimone of PERE UBU. The DVD released with Culture for Pigeon includes two videos by Greenwood. TRACY AND THE PLASTICS has performed as part of the 2004 Whitney Biennial and Greenwood will complete her MFA from Bard College this summer. TRACY AND THE PLASTICS has performed at and been presented in venues all over the country including Harvard University, LTTR (the radical feminist art journal), CCA in Detroit, and Ocularis in Brooklyn.
