| 01 | It's Dead | Apparently a conventional four piece, Plastic Venus moved from their
Isreali/Macedonian base to Camden to be closer to their perceived roots and
to be "more extreme". The music they make as a result is a confusion of
loudness and indirection, not so much an in-your-face sound as an
in-someone-else's. According to fans, it rarely makes sense and you're left
with a sense of wonder, who are these people and why are they doing what
they're doing? In spite of this, they have their own following in Camden
(and elsewhere). They look pretty weird too, singer Ronit has had bright
pink hair for longer than anyone can remember and the band as a whole
sports that apocalyptic punk look. yet the sound they make is different,
there's no reference to '70s punk. Anorexic, pre-bulimic, this band are
masters of musical skinniness. Like Kate Moss in a revolting punk
explosion.
