PLX
Because yet another acoustic guitar/ukulele/bassoon solo might cause some audience members to lynch their neighbor,PLX are here to spread the love with a set of pulsing,hoover noise,punctuated electrotech, Such sweet relief are they that w even shake a half a leg,for a bit. She bobs,he weaves,they rap after a fashion, and all is well in the world. - Vice magazine
Marlon and Tanya are cousins of the great musical lineage the Pollocks. They form the duo PLX, appearing with their signature bunny and tiger masks, respectively. They play spooky electronica, segueing from serene sounds to intense. Actually, the performance started out quietly and in a few minutes became a full-blown, crazy-ass drum and bass rollercoaster. During the jungle cacophony, Marlon unveils his human identity after shedding the bunny face and starts dancing like a mo’fucka. He is joined by a baboon-man in a football jacket and a mouse-woman. The whole scene is eerily reminiscent of the masked pagan terror rituals in the 1973 classic the Wicker Man.
