Trying to bridge the gap between the music they loved in the 80s and the synth sounds of the new millenium, PLID seeks to offer a retreat from the mindless pop that permeates the radio waves. By blending the strengths of what originally made 80s electro-pop edgy with today's modern electronic sensibilities, PLID has managed to form a sound that is all their own.
Why this name?
We have to thank our friend Ben Gross for that one. It stands for Paul Lynde Is Dead
Do you play live?
We've had some really cool gigs thusfar. The best moment to date was opening for My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult in New Orleans at the Parish/House of Blues. We love getting out and performing for the fans, and we're doing more and more of it. We try to put on a unique and fun show that shows us off as performers. I hope those who have seen us live would agree!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
We feel it's a good thing in that it allows music makers an opportunity to get their music out in a way that's never been available before.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Oh sure... We would love the opportunity to work with a label that allows us the freedom to work within the milieu we've created for ourselves.
Band History:
Frank Ortiz
Eric Dano
Your influences?
We kind of wear our influences on our sleeves. Certainly, Depeche Mode, Erasure, early Human League, Kraftwerk and Pet Shop Boys are HUGE favorites of ours. We are also influenced by the newer wave of exciting new bands like Fischerspooner, The Postal Service, Ladytron, and The Bravery.
Favorite spot?
Well, we're from Houston, and there's a great 80s night at a club called Numbers. We're usually there every Friday enjoying old and new electronic dance.
Equipment used:
We use SONAR 4 Producer Edition with loads of cool soft synths, a microKORG, and a Radium MIDI controller.
