[edit] History
[edit] Formation
Faith in Plastics was formed in December 2002 by Adam Livingston, Rhys Davies, Andrew Lodder and David Holley.[1] The band built a strong prescence in the Perth live scene in their formative years before the release of their debut record, The Arctic Market.
[edit] The Arctic Market
Faith in Plastics released The Arctic Market in April 2006 [2] to strong reviews.[3] On the back of RTRFM (Perth)'s selection of the album as a Feature Record in early 2006, Faith in Plastics garnered national and local airplay on Triple J, RTRFM (Perth), FBi (Sydney), 4zzz (Brisbane), and 3RRR (Melbourne). They were quickly signed by QStick Records in 2006.[4]
Since then, Faith in Plastics have become part of the flourishing Perth music establishment, supporting renowned Canadian indie outfit The Dears and high profile Australian acts Eskimo Joe, New Rules for Boats, Snowman and Josh Pyke. In 2006, Faith in Plastics were nominated for WAMi Song of the Year, and in 2007 they picked up two nominations for Best Indi Pop Act and Most Promising Newcomer.[5][6] In addition, the band was one of the drawcards at the prestigious Perth International Arts Festival in 2007 [7][8] and recently finished touring with The Panda Band. Faith in Plastics are presently recording their next record, as yet untitled, with producer Steve Bond.
[edit] Line Up Changes
After bassist Andrew Lodder left the band in September 2006, Vaughan Davies, brother of guitarist Rhys Davies, took over bass duties.
