The Red Plastic Buddha
Melodic, intelligent, wall of sound psychedelia. Chicago's Red Plastic Buddha blend layers of guitar, effects, keyboards and vocal harmonies to create a distinctive, swirling, lysergic sound that's as fluid as the shifting shapes in a lava lamp.

"Like a Peter Max painting come to life, Red Plastic Buddha comes in colors. With semi-spastic guitar solos that bring to mind early Jefferson Airplane, keyboard parts that very vaguely suggest Ray Manzarek and the Doors, and vocals that range from an intense scream to a distant call, they've really got the flavors down. "

"it's a pretty sweet 33 minutes of dark, retrograde flower power. " Jon Sobol - INDIE MUSIC ROUNDUP

"I am digging The Red Plastic Buddha" - Greg Kot - CHICAGO TRIBUNE, NPR's SOUND OPINIONS

"Creating spacey psychedelic music is a difficult craft. The guys of RPB, however, accomplish this beautifully by taking the groove to all the right places.

... Sunflower Sessions, the debut from Red Plastic Buddha, is sure to spread far beyond the burgeoning psychedelic underground." - Trevor Dye - HYPEZINE.COM

"Whirling, swirling and pulsating like any psychedelia worth its weight in windowpanes, The Red Plastic Buddha weaves memories of the dreamy, moody and driving psychedelic sounds of the '60s and '70s with their own personal touches for a very enjoyable and trippy blend.

... head banging psychedelia - beautiful and tough." Zed Next - CDBABY.COM

"Sunflower Sessions is a fine calling card, signaling a promising band to watch." Charlie Sands - POP CULTURE PRESS
