Festival Frenzy!

As rainy season hits a boiling-over Bangkok on the brink, there are festivals galore for (real) music lovers.. Last weekend (May 10-11) saw the second installment of the amazing two-day Noise Festival, where Plastic Section played a crazy set without drums or bass - Ben rocked the electric guitar as usual while Pok ran around blowing a melodica - it was great! Here's a link to some video from the set: Spin It Out

This weekend there is Fatty's Festival on May 16-17 at Fatty's Bar and Diner in Din Daeng - Ben will play a solo set on Saturday night at around 10:30pm, right after the amazing Deadtown Trash. Then on Sunday, there's a music and art festival at a new venue called Change and Charge, where the full Plastic Section experience can be experienced at around 6pm. Details here: Change and Charge

See you here, there and everywhere! Let's rock!

Noise

This weekend in Bangkok (May 10 - 11), as well as the now usual political protests, violence and chaos on the streets, there will be a truly "indie" music and arts festival, arranged by Panda Records. Loads of brilliant bands are performing and people will have stalls selling their music and other bits and pieces. Plastic Section will share a stall with solo experimental guitar wizard Wednesday and the unique and brilliant Japanese singer-songwriter Eico. Plastic Section will also perform a semi-acoutsic kinda thing on Saturday May 10 at 6pm. If you're in Bangkok, you should be there!
More info here.

And here is the line-up:
