The Plastics release latest album Shark

BizLounge met up with drummer Sasha Righini and lead guitarist Arjuna Kohlstock of The Plastics and their manger Jeremy Moyle ahead of the release of their latest album Shark (which should hit stores early June) to chat about their new album and sound and how Gordan Rafael, best known for his involvement with the Strokes, became involved in the production.

2010 predicts to be busy year for the band which sees them promote and tour their new album, cameo in and provide tracks for an upcoming movie as well as manage to find time to play a few games of rock star chess.
