Plastic Parachute is Deb Hooks (vox), Ricky Brewer
(Guitar), Michael Angelo Brewer (Bass), and Clint Johnston (skins).
The band officially formed in 2003 and completed their first album
in September of that year. Since then, you might say they have
been busy.
They are a perpetually touring band, traveling around
the US and living out of their 30 ft RV. Soon after they hit the
road, MTV picked up their songs "Tickle Me", "Moondancer" & "Memphis"
for the '04-'05 seasons of Trippin', The Osbournes, The Newlyweds & The
Ashlee Simpson Show. CBS licensed the same three songs for
it's hit TV show Joan of Arcadia.
Their latest album Swell, was
produced by Dave Darling who is best known for his production work
with Brian Setzer and Meredith Brooks. Swell is full of
sugary, high-energy power-pop with Deb Hooks baby-girl voice; frenzied
yet articulate enough to drive her vivid lyrics into yr head. The
songs touch on heartbreak here and there, but it's nearly impossible
to feel down listening to this high energy band who obviously have
so much fun doing what they do.
Plastic Parachute's songs "Swell" and "Houdini" have been in heavy
rotation on college radio stations across the US. The band now
finds themselves sharing stages with artists like Deborah
Harry and The Go Gos. We know they get these gigs because of their
immense fun factor and can just imagine how much fun they would
be to see live.
