The Plastik trio are:

Gareth Moss - vocals/guitar
Andy Natt - bass
Paul Cox - drums


The group have been writing and performing together seriously for about two years and have many loyal local fans.

After meeting at Testwood School the lads went on to play in different bands until Gareth pulled the trio together.

So, why are they called Plastik? Is it because frontman Gareth pulls some amazingly grotesque facial expressions? "Because you can reshape and recycle it and it sums up the way the band approach music, crossing over lots of different boundaries." Says Gareth.

The twenty somethings successfully draw on all their different influences from Bowie, Hendrix and grunge through to pop to produce a well-polished sound that can combine the likes of Donna Summer disco with thrash.

Live, they go down a storm with their energetic, theatrical performances - recently they've even had some feedback from celebrities after their gigs: "Graham Coxon from Blur came up to us after a gig and said we were the best band there." Says Gareth.

The lads are planning to put a single out this summer and then go on tour where they hope to get some festival interest.
