That’s right, we have booked A Plastic Rose to play a free gig at the Conservatory Cafe bar in Cheltenham.
Date: Friday, 12 March 2010
Time: 19:30 – 23:30
Location: Conservatory cafe bar, Winchcombe Street, Cheltenham
A Plastic Rose are the cross-community, cross-border stars of the future. This four piece have forced themselves into public and critical consciousness with acclaimed EPs, singles and live shows including TV appearances on UTV’s ‘Live At The Limelight’, multiple radio sessions across Ireland, and well-received slots at Glasgowbury, Hard-Working-Class Heroes, Unconvention and Leeds and Reading Festivals. The latter coinciding with them becoming the first ever unsigned band to be play-listed on BBC Radio 1, with airplay across the schedule. Jo Whiley, Edith Bowman, Nihal, Hew Stevens and Tom Robinsons all playing their debut single ‘All You Know And Love Will Die.
They deliver their “nu-wave-disco-grunge-old-skool-emo” with a passion and intensity forged by their apprenticeship of gigging anytime, anywhere, with and to anyone, a philosophy that has led to them sharing stages with acts as diverse as Frank Turner, Explosions In The Sky, Fightstar, And So I Watch You From Afar and Fighting With Wire, picking up fans in Charlie Simpson (Fightstar – “Irelands best up and coming band at the moment”) and Gary Lightbody (giving them a mention in his list of N.Irish bands to look for) establishing a growing core support across Ireland with on-going touring and being recognised as one of the coming forces in music (BBC Across The Line Acts Of The Year 2008). Now signed to DiDiMau Records, and fuelled by addictions to videogames, celebrities and functional sculpture, APR are poised to take on the world even if it’s not ready. You’ve been warned.
APR are launching their next 7″ vinyl single Kids Don’t Behave Like This through DiDiMau at The Stiff Kitten Kitten, Belfast Friday March 26th and it will be available to download from March 29th. It will be promoted by a full UK and Irish Tour in March. ‘Mother It’s time’ has just been made available for free download at www.nichart.com.
