Leeds Fest was epic. We played two sets over the weekend. The first on Thursday was crazy as we pretty much opened the festival. Everyone was gagging for a rave, with us having to stop half way through our set because people were getting crushed, fighting and pushing down barriers. Bloody heath and saftey nonsense... It was kinda nice to have a bit of a gap before going back on for an encore and playing a 15mins slot of the dirtiest filthstep to get everyone hyped for Crystal Fighters - who killed it.
My films are still being processed so I'll get some more shots up when they're back. In the meantime there's couple of sketchy vids after the jump. They were filmed on Sebs iphone with a pretty shaky drunken hand but you'll get the picture. A massive big up to all the Sport Vision crew for having us and of course a shout out to our new Hype man, Abbo Dan.
You wouldn't think a collaboration from two chaps living in very different corners of the Britain would work. One residing in the pebble dashed charm of North Wales, the other hailing from the anonymous streets of South London. But the bastard child of PLAY and BASTIC seems to hold up nicely.
Plastic Thumbs pull all their influences from reggae, funk and the golden era of hip-hop, pulled together with the same focus, colliding the buzz and crackling energy of dancehall with rhyme splattered beats and gut-wrenching low-end bass lines.
