Plastic Little is an American rap group consisting of Jayson Musson (PackofRats), Kurt Hunte (No Body's Child), Jon Folmar (Jon Thousand), Si Young Lee (DJ Si Young) and Michael Stern (SQUID).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Official Myspace site )〕 The name "Plastic Little" comes from the Manga and OVA, ''Plastic Little'' simply as, according to Musson, "The way the 2 words go together, I like it". Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; they've worked with other notable artists from the area, including Amanda Blank and Spank Rock. ==Background== Originally consisting of only Musson and Hunte, Plastic Little formed during the summer of 2001. After little success the pair started looking for "some proper white folks"〔 to appeal to a wider audience. In late 2002, MC Si Young and producer Michael Stern joined the group and together they completed their self-released album ''Thug Paradise 2.1'', released in 2003. Subsequent to its release the first 6 tracks were released by 'aNYthing Records', for which it received wide critical acclaim from a variety of sources such as Pitchfork Media and Vice Magazine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=She's Mature )〕 Following up on this success, Plastic Little released their first studio album, ''She's Mature'', in 2006 to mixed reviews. Subsequent to the release of this album the band spent much of the next following years touring both the United States and the UK, both playing shows of their own and also in a supporting role for various artists. The group has shared the stage with M.I.A., Diplo, Blockhead, Mark Ronson, Jay-Z,〔 Bonde Do Role,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Bondo De Role )〕 Roots Manuva, Z-Trip, Belleruche, Dizzie Rascal, Santogold and Chromeo as well as Philadelphia's own Need New Body and Man Man.〔 Plastic Little released their second album ''Welcome to the Jang House'' in 2008 to the UK audience only. The album compiles tracks from their self-released album, ''Thug Paradise'', as well as their debut album, ''She's Mature''; adding a couple of new tracks also. The album received mainly positive reviews, with critics praising Little's ability to blend many genres together into one album while still sounding "fresh and bold"; their "tongue-in-cheek brilliance"; and their "biting critique of society at large" and "acerbic wit and intelligence". 2008 also saw them touring the UK in support of their album and featuring in a number of festivals; including Glastonbury (for Mark Ronson), Creamfields, Get Loaded in The Park (for Ronson), Lollapalooza〔 and the O2 Wireless festival (again for Ronson). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plastic Little (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
