Chicago spacepunk unit in operation since 2001, which has been lauded in Mojo, Wire, Julian Cope's Head Heritage, etc. PCWS delivers blasts of motor-city acid-rock, Japanese-style psychedelic scree, yet touching on cosmic krautrock and eastern folk-blues at times.

Plastic Crimewave also does the Galactic Zoo Dossier mag, Secret History of Chicago Music newspaper strip and radio show, Million Tongues Festivals, and plays with DRMWPN and Moonrises. Lawrence "Skog Device" Peters has a zillion other projects including country band the Lawrence Peters Outfit. Adam "Hands of Hydra" Krakow does solo sitar jams as well. John Brearley and Betty Eo play as Casual Encounter as well.
