Before taking the stage at the Star Bar tonight (Sat., April 6), playing his first show in six months (he thinks), Derek Lyn Plastic took a few minutes to talk about the band’s new lineup, and what he has in store for the year to come.

When and how did the band form?

Derek Lyn Plastic formed in 2003. I was working at Nickel and Dime Studios in Atlanta, and recorded the first 7-inch with Kris Sampson after hours. After playing the record for a few different people and gaining a few fans here and there, it eventually was given the live treatment. Over the past decade I’ve played with a revolving cast of great musicians spanning the East Coast, while living in different cities: Atlanta, New York City, and Orlando, Fla. The current lineup includes some of the best musicians I have found during my time here in Atlanta.
