Teach you what a baby won't

The next band on the bill at Doldrums was an unknown to me,  local group Plaster Babies. I thought they played a great set, and the audience concurred. They say they play rock with psychedelic and grungy touches, and that seems apt. To be more precise, I thought they sounded a bit like The Starlite Desperation and The Icarus Line, who tread in similar territory.

And they're off! With guitarist Sean, his brother Michael on drums, singer-guitarist Ben and bassist Rob.
