Teen Girl Scientist Monthly, Fantastic Plastics (Album Release), Mindtroll

Teen Girl Scientist Monthly is a Brooklyn-based sextet with a yen for sunny guitars, anthemic shout-a-longs and fuzzy garage pop. They've jangled, stomped and shouted all about New York City, toured to SxSW, and just released Modern Dances - an LP of sharp shout-a-longs and bright light head-bangers.

TGSM's filled NYC venues including: Arlene's Grocery, Cake Shop, Shea Stadium, the Studio at Webster Hall, House of Yes, Pianos, Legion, Matchless, Sugarland, the Charleston, the Delancey, Bitter End, Sullivan Hall, Fat Baby, Trash Bar, Littlefield, Brooklyn Fireproof, and numerous house shows and small galleries. TGSM has also toured to Philly, Boston, Baltimore, Memphis, Dallas, Austin, Houston and College Station.


Classified somewhere along the lines of Electro Grunge, NewWave & ElectroPunk The Fantastic Plastics, a 2 piece live act, formed in Champaign Illinois in 2009 with founding members Tyson and Dylan. They built up a loyal following by playing epic shows and festivals including Pygmalion Music Festival 2009 & 2010.
In 2011 the band relocated to New York City where Miranda replaced Dylan in live shows on Synth & vocals. Miranda had been the band's costume designer since its inception in 2009. In December 2012 the band revealed their new look and sound at The Cake Shop - New York City.
Taking inspiration from concert acts such as Man or Astroman, Devo & Ziggy Stardust, The Fantastic Plastics blend video and costumes into their electric concerts. Today The Fantastic Plastics play live as a 2 piece band with Miranda on synth and Tyson on guitar. Drummond Bass, and Atari C-240 Video Music machine provides drum, bass, and 4-bit pixel video.


Mindtroll crept up from the Gowanus Canal in early 2010 and has since spent their time honing their inscrutable sound, which is not unlike the angriest children's choir.
