Faith in Plastics was a four-piece indie pop/rock band from Perth, Western Australia formed in December 2002 and disbanded in 2007.

History

Formation

Faith in Plastics was formed in December 2002 by Adam Livingston, Rhys Davies, Andrew Lodder and Dave Holley [ [http://www.amo.org.au/artist.asp?id=3511 AMO - artist profile] ] . The band built a strong presence in the Perth live scene in their formative years before the release of their debut record, "The Arctic Market".

The Arctic Market

Faith in Plastics released "The Arctic Market" in April 2006 [ [http://www.aria.com.au/pages/ArchivedAustralianReleases-May2006.htm ARIA releases (May, 2006)] ] to strong reviews [ [http://www.rockus.com.au/ Rockus magazine] ] . On the back of RTRFM (Perth)'s selection of the album as a Feature Record in early 2006, Faith in Plastics garnered national and local airplay on Triple J [ [http://www.jplay.com.au/JSite/ViewArtist.aspx?ArtistID=296&ShowFullBio=true Triple J Playlist - Faith in Plastics] ] , RTRFM [ [http://www.rtrfm.com.au/shows/morningmag/date/2007-08-07 RTRFM Playlist] ] (Perth), FBi (Sydney), 4ZZZ [ [http://www.4zzzfm.org.au/nowplaying/index.cfm?action=dsp_playlist&showID=48&day=3&playlistID=1648 4ZZZ Playlist] ] (Brisbane), and 3RRR (Melbourne). They were quickly signed by QStik Records in 2006 [ [http://www.qstik.com.au/ QStik Records] ] .

Since then, Faith in Plastics have become part of the flourishing Perth music establishment, supporting renowned Canadian indie outfit The Dears and high profile Australian acts Eskimo Joe, New Rules for Boats, Snowman, The Panics and Josh Pyke. In 2006, Faith in Plastics were nominated for WAM Song of the Year, and in 2007 they picked up two WAMi nominations for 'Best Indie Pop Act' and 'Most Promising Newcomer' [ [http://www.wam.asn.au/ West Australian Music Industry website] ] [ [http://perthmusic.perthnorg.com.au/2007/01/18/2007-wami-nominations/ Perth Music - 2007 WAMi nominations] ] . In addition, the band was one of the drawcards at the prestigious Perth International Arts Festival in 2007 [ [http://perthfestival.com.au/index.cfm?go=events.view&category=verandah&event=late Perth Festival line-up 2007] ] [ [http://www.themusic.com.au/im_m/display.php?s=gig&id=94 The Music ] ] and recently finished touring with The Panda Band. Faith in Plastics are presently recording their next record, as yet untitled, with producer Steve Bond [ [http://www.faithinplastics.com/news.htm Faith in Plastics website] ] .

The band have recently received a Contemporary Music Grant from ArtsWA to mix, master, press and launch their second EP [ [http://www.dca.wa.gov.au/ContemporaryMusicGrantResults.asp Department of Culture & the Arts (WA) - press release (March, 2007)] ] .

Line-up changes

Bassist Andrew Lodder left the band in September 2006 after being awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University. Vaughan Davies, brother of guitarist Rhys Davies, took over bass duties.

Dissolution

Faith in Plastics was disbanded in mid-December 2007 due to irreconcilable differences between frontman Adam Livingston and lead guitarist Rhys Davies. As of December 19, 2007 the proposed debut album project, though very near to completion, was aborted with primary songwriter Livingston planning to pursue other avenues for exposure of his music.
