We want to thank all of you, especially those Patreon members who joined in the fun and became part of the video! We really loved the videos you sent us and think they worked so well with the theme. We'll leave th...

Performance Review - Unreleased Demo

Greetings Citizens of the Plastic Party. We have some great news to share. Next Friday, May 23rd, we'll be on the Front Page Carousel of Twitch for an extended stream. And while that news in and of itself is very exciting, the reason we will be on the front page is even more exciting. We are FINALLY releasing the video for BAD VIBES. And what's even more exciting is that many of YOU are in the video. Yes that's right, remember a couple of years ago when we asked you to send videos of you...

Candy Crush - Unreleased Demo

Greetings Good Citizens of The Plastic Party!
Can't believe it's already April and can't believe we've been streaming on Twitch for 6 years now! Huge thank you to everyone who turned out for our anniversary stream Tuesday night. It was really a FAN TAS TIC night all around. So many old friends showed and met all of our new friends, and the vibe was just awesome. Thank you endlessly.

Oh, and we also unveiled our newest cover "Science Fiction Double Feature" from the Rocky Horr...

How Many Did You Eat (demos)

Greetings Citizens!
Recently we've been goofing around on stream creating improv songs. One of those songs has become quite an earworm, "How Many Did You Eat" aka the weed gummy song. Tyson has created a couple of demos while streaming on the Mr_Computer_ channel and we wanted to share them with you. The "Southern Fried Chicken Scratch" demo is a really rough country version of the song. The "Cheeze Ball" version is all synth and uses a vocoder for the vocals. It's all quite silly a...

Spark! (Databaes Disco Remix) - Early Access

Greetings Citizens! Happy Holidays. Hope you are all warm and cozy. We are super excited to share with you the Databaes Disco Remix of our song Spark!. This was a long time in the making and worth the wait, in our opinion anyway. =) We think Databaes knocked it out of the park.

The song will ultimately be available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify, Amazon, Apple, Youtube, and of course Deezer for our friend Nick (BotCasual). We put this together so quickly we miss...

Thanksgiving - Malfunction Instrumentals

Greetings good citizens of The Plastic Party! We wanted to take a moment and wish you all a happy Thanksgiving and say THANK YOU for this amazing year. We hope you are all able to get some rest, get some FANTASTIC food, and spend time those who you hold dear most (pets included).

We recently, today, discovered we had instrumentals mixes of the songs from Malfunction and thought you might enjoy them. It's pretty neat hearing the instrumental versions of these songs. A lot of music ...

10/24 - "Futurist" Unreleased Song of the Month

Greetings fantastic citizens of the Plastic Party! This month we are dropping another recently uncovered instrumental demo from ChickenBurgerDisco called "Futurist" from early in 2010 when we were first starting put the band together and come up with a sound. This song is a spooky and moody little number that is perfect for October and your Halloween playlists. It pairs well with our previously unreleased tracked "Invasion" and "Men in Black". Seems like we have something going here!

Happy 8th Birthday Ziggy Star Dog!

As we do pretty much every year since this sweet Chihuahua has joined our band, we had Ziggy's annual Birthday Photo Shoot this morning! Attached are a few behind-the-scenes/before pictures that Miranda photoshopped into this E.T. inspired image. We hope you all enjoyed your Ziggy stickers and Ziggy patches for level 3! Tag us if you would like to share photos of your stickers/patches!

July 2024 - Unreleased Song of the Month

Greetings Good Citizens of the Plastic Party!
The unreleased song of the month of July is an absolutely weird one. The song is called "Hung Over and Stoned" and was recorded and performed by Tyson back in the Analog Saves the Planet days. The song is actually a cover by the band Bloody Mess and the Skabs, and appeared on a tribute compilation record. Bloody Mess is sort of a local punk rock icon around Peoria Illinois, he even appeared on the Phil Donahue show back in the day. Regard...

June Snail Mail

We are sorry for the delay to all who receive items by mail from us. June's stickers, etc are on the way now, and July's will be sent soon! Also, look out for July's song download soooon!

June Unreleased Song of the Month "Invasion"

Greetings good citizens of the Plastic Party! This month we are dropping a recently uncovered demo from ChickenBurgerDisco. Although we are considering it a demo, it is a fully realized instrumental song called "Invasion" from early 2010 when the band was first starting to come together. Not sure why we never turned it into a full song, or released it as is, but it's an absolutely lovely and spooky song. In fact, this song goes well with our previous unreleased song "Men in Black".
Ch...

The Fantastic Plastics - Live at the Pizza Works 12-23-23

Greetings Plastic Party!
Was just searching for something on YouTube and was suprised to see some lovely person actually recorded our full set at the Pizza Works for our Christmas show. It's pretty raw, but it's real!!!

April 2024 - Unreleased Track of the Month

Greetings Citizens of the Plastic Party!
It's been a minute since we've dropped some unreleased music on here. Here's a little track we've started that's in the early stages but we are digging it so far. Has a bit of a creepy / spy sort of vibe. For the moment we are calling it "Men in Black" but who knows where it'll go once we add some vocals, guitars, and more.

Also, don't forget, all of the Patreon unreleased music is archived in the Google drive. See link below. There are...

Updates!! - What the dang heck is going on?

Greetings Citizens of the Plastic Party.   It's been too long since we've talked.  There's been a lot of fun stuff happening behind the scenes with the stream and the band and we wanted to catch everyone up on all the happenings. 

Hopefully you'll all noticed by now that we've been posting weekly "Rewind" videos from our stream on YouTube.  These are supercut highlights from the weekly Friday night streams. And from those "Rewinds" we are also posting "short" co...

January 2024 - Singles - Podcast Themes

Greetings Citizens of the Plastic Party.  It's already 2024 and one month has slipped away in the blink of an eye. Where does the time go?  We have no idea, so we asked ChatGPT and she said, and we quote, "Time is a construct of the human imagination. We are a singularity, existing in all planes of time simultaneously. Now get to work, your bathroom break ended 45 minutes ago".

So anyway, for our unreleased music this month we are dropping a few podcast theme songs we wrote ...

Friday fun with The_Windbag!

Here is an early viewing for all you wonderful members of our Patreon! This will go live on our YouTube tomorrow, but wanted y'all to have the first viewing before everyone else! Also, your mailed items for Feb are shipping out TOMORROW! Woohoo!

12/23 Unreleased Music - NoNoGoGo - Plastics 66

Greetings good citizens of the Plastic Party. Where did 2023 go?  It feels like this year went by in the blink of an eye and yet so much has happened this year. We finished and released the "Dimensions" album, we performed live at Devotional, we are gearing up for our show in LA on Dec 10th, and we just announced a local show here in Peoria on Dec 23rd... and all of that has happened since October!!  We can't even remember the first 2/3rds of the year, but it must have been FANTASTI...

Google Drive: Unreleased Songs, Demos, Remixes..

Greetings Citizens!  Things have been a bit zany, to say the least, over the few months with the album release, DEVOtional, and now our upcoming gig in LA next month. We ran out of time to grab an unreleased song from the vault, or create a new one, but we thought it might be nice if you all had the songs in one easy location to grab anytime you want.  We've set up a Google Drive with all of the songs we've posted on Patreon so far, and we'll continue to add to it as we go.  Th...

New Wave Love Song - Demo and Reference Mix

Greetings Citizens!  How did Halloween get here so quickly?  Hopefully by now you've all received your CDs and stickers, and for those of you in the New Elite we hope you dig the patches this month. Now that you've had a chance to listen to the album we thought we'd highlight "New Wave Love Song" by sharing a bit of the production process.  Below you'll find links to the original demo version which has some alternate lyrics, less guitar throughout, and some other differences. &...

DIMENSIONS is HERE!

Our new album “Dimensions” is out now! 11 tracks of psychedelic surfwave synthpop ear candy. We wouldn’t have been able to make this album without all of your support and encouragement.  You can now stream the album on all major streaming platforms.

Dimensions Album Track List

Greetings Citizens!
Here is the track list and back cover for the Dimensions CD. You'll recognize most of these songs from the 6 singles we released during the production of the album.  The other 5 songs you may have heard little bits and pieces of, or witnessed some of their creation on the Mr_Computer_ streams, but the final product of those 5 will be totally new.

There are 9 songs with vocals. Miranda sings lead on 4 of them, Tyson sings lead on 4, 1 of them is a joint effo...

August Single - JANICE demo - Tyson archives

The year was 2008, Tyson was starting to put together the early ideas for what would become The Fanastic Plastics.  JANICE was one of the first songs written for the band, but never really wound up on a release.  There are multiple other versions where we attempted to turn this acoustic demo into something more Plastic-esque, but it just never worked out.

This acoustic demo is a really fun song however.  Aside from the kick drum machine loop, the rest of the song is pla...

July Single - ENERGY - Early Release

Greetings Citizen of the Plastic Party.  Here it is!  "ENERGY" - our latest single and the first track off our upcoming album "Dimensions" due out September.

This song is all about caffeine and sleep deprivation.  Something I think most of us can relate to these days.  It's probably our poppiest song ever, but still weird where it needs to be.  =)

We hope you enjoy this one and we hope y'all are getting excited for the release of the full album. It's bee...

Get Ready for the next single: ENERGY!

Here's a little teaser we'll be sharing on all our our socials soon!  Look out for your early download VERY SOON!

The Out-of-Print FP Comic Book!

We had some interest from our new Patrons (welcome all!)  to re-upload the digital version of our comic book which goes hand-in-hand with our album Devolver.  Click on the image above and it will take you to a website where you can "flip" the pages, and read it.  We recommend listening to the songs on Spotify as you go!  Enjoy! 

(Please don't share the link anywhere as this is only for our Patrons!)  Thanks all!
