A PLASTIC ROSE

TODAYS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU IN ASSOCIATION WITH http://www.duplication.ie
PRESENTED BY TOM MILLETT
A Plastic Rose are the cross-community-cross-border stars of the future. This 4-piece were formed when bassist Troy and drummer Dave answered an emergency call from other members Gerry (guitar/vox) and Ian (guitar/vox) following unsuccessful attempts to kidnap members from other local bands. Once settled these Sligo/Tyrone mongrels have forced themselves into public and critical consciousness with acclaimed EPs, singles and live shows including TV appearances on UTVs 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 its not ready. Youve been warned.

APR are launching their next 7" vinyl single Colour Blue as a split single with The Good Fight in The Empire Music Hall, Belfast Dec 10th through DiDiMau followed by an Irish tour. To end the year on a high they are releasing a free digital only EP on Christmas day called 'Happy Birthday Jesus' featuring new songs 'Mother It's Time' and 'Promises'(and maybe a little surprise thrown in).

'Superspeed' has just been made available for free download at www.nichart.com and has entered the chart at Number One.
