We Know, Plato! was an indie rock band based in Richmond, Virginia. The band was formed when Mark Strong moved back to Richmond from LA and found Benvolio Willson's solo work online. The lineup solidified with Daniel Medley joining in Summer of 2007 and Todd Baker joining in early 2008, during the recording of their second EP, "Turn On the Outside Lights", which never came to fruition. We Know, Plato! had a song featured in the hit show Gossip Girl on November 10, 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gossip Girl TV Show on The CW - Gossip Girl Music )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=We Know, Plato!

Willson was still finishing up college, recording solo songs in dorm room, and playing with Harrisonburg, Va band "Roy Rogers". Being away at college initially made it hard for the two to efficiently collaborate but, by late 2006, they had shared a show together as separate musicians, and in early 2007 (We Know, Plato! ) was formed. In the fall of 2007 the duo enlisted Richmond-newcomer Daniel Medley fresh out of high school. We Know, Plato! played two shows as a trio. Shortly after New Zealand keyboardist/vocalist Julia Manhire, now Julia Marquardt, was recruited. In the end of April 2008, bassist Steve Chiles, having formerly played for the band ''Brian Bachman and the New Romancers'', entered the band as the final member of WK,P!. In the wake of both Steve departing the band to dedicate his time to family/work, and Julia's departure due to time constraints, the band acquired a new bassist- Daniel Medley's brother-in-law, Todd Baker. We Know, Plato! disbanded in June 2009 due to both Willson's and Strong's preference to concentrate on a more focused, truer sound, as was soon to be found in their side-project "Carlyle Petes' Chessmen of Doom", which is now their main project, renamed "Make Phantoms". Mark Strong and Ben Willson continue to work on their new project, (Make Phantoms ), while Daniel Medley has since started a new project titled with Wilson called Those Manic Seas. 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「We Know, Plato!」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
