Kitchen and The Plastic Spoons

Order the Kitchen CD NOW!!!.



After more than 25 years we slowly discovered that a new, young generation with fresh ears have taken Kitchen and the Plastic Spoons to their hearts. -Do the world needs another CD that no one buys ? We asked ourself. But seeing the growing amount of fans on MySpace and other indications we decided to pull the lever.

Kitchen and The Plastic Spoons "Best Off" is a 20 track CD, contains almost all studio tracks ever recorded including mostly never before released material. In addition all nine live tracks feature songs never released or even bootlegged. At that time being punk meant being creative, artsy, anti-establishment, funny, daring, provocative, innovative… and most importantly, ORIGINAL. The bands people loved were the ones that DIDN’T COPY ANYONE ELSE!

About Kitchen and the Plastic Spoons:

The problem with all revolutions is what to do afterwards.



When punk had risen up and sent the rock establishment off to the

guillotine, everybody cheered and danced in the streets. But, just a

year on, it was evident that the old doctrine had simply been replaced

by a new one.

The alternative music scene in the spring of 1980 consisted either of

conservative three-chord punk or dead serious goth. Everything gave off

a stink of sweat and beer.

Originality was lost. There were no new ideas. All the bands' musical

expressions had become as predictable as their clothes and attributes.

Going to a show, you'd know what the artists would sound like the moment

they hit the stage.

It was at this moment I saw on Kitchen & the Plastic Spoons for the very

first time. It was as if somebody had distributed musical instruments to

a wandering circus troupe.

When the drummer played, liquid ran from the corners of his mouth. Not

until I interviewed them for my fanzine a month later, did I discover

that it was toothpaste and not rabies.

The singer acted in a way that made you want to push forward to get a

better look and at the same time stay at the back, in case she was going

to explode – or implode.

And they didn't sound like any music I'd ever heard, with the possible

exception of the very first singles by Devo and Pere Ubu, two bands from

American fly-over states who created their truly anarchic sound long

before punk grew into Punk Rock and acquired Rules.

This was real underground music, not content with staying under ground.

Music wanting so badly to reach the next stop – that light at the end of

the tunnel – that it pushed and shoved all the way to the first carriage

of the subway train and stood hammering on the door to the driver's cabin.

The lyrics were never audible when Kitchen & the Plastic Spoons played

live, and just barely on their two singles, but the song titles alone

set the band apart from all contemporary Swedish and European acts. When

everyone else sang about how depressed they were, Kitchen & the Plastic

Spoons countered by everything being “Fantastic” and wanting to give

“Icecream to god”.

The group burned their candle at both ends. Before even releasing an

album it was all over. But the soon coming compilation shows their energy and

attitude to be just as liberating and unusual today.
