The Plot to blow up the Eiffel Tower from San Diego California formed in 2001 with

the distinct intention of branding their name on every kid's lips. Their beginning stage

as an inventive jazz-punk hybrid as heard on 2003's "Dissertation, Honey" was

strong and ever so cacophonous but was quickly abandoned by the time of their

second official release; a three song Ep title "If You Cut Us, We Bleed." This Ep

earned them a taste of success, danger and an opportunity to spend nearly six

months of 2004 on the road with the likes of Q and not U, The Locust, and The Ex.

Upon hearing the strangled, honking, and all too damaged "Love In The Fascist

Brothel" one will quickly realize that the Plot is not a one trick pony and has now

abandoned both genres to become something all its own. Like THE CONTORTIONS

and SEX PISTOLS before them, The Plot throws together an all-smart version of

punk; spit, attitude, and sexuality.

 

Their reputation for leaving people cheated or impregnated with obsession has now

turned the world on it's ears. For the Plot the payoff is big; "Love In The Fascist

Brothel" has that magical quality that drives people on to the stage and into the

sweaty dance pit every night. That coupled with critical attention over seas and

around the globe has international bands and journalists eagerly interested in all of

their 2005 excursions to the UK, Europe, Asia, and Australia, as well as an extensive

tour of the states and Canada.

Equal parts charm and repulsion, The Plot are on the razor-edge of the new art-punk; a chaotic but

sugarshit-sharp slap in the face of convention and expectations. Thoroughly proud of garnering a

reputation for leaving audiences feeling cheated or impregnated with obsession, The Plot have

nonetheless garnered interest and acclaim around the globe with their confrontational aural and visual

anti-aesthetic.

 

"At first listen The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower is a punk-angst ridden bunch of noise, but looking

beneath the surface of the distortion and chaos, I find something more; the future." - Hybrid Music

 

"One of the top 100 bands to know in 2005." - Alternative Press

 

".it won't be long before the FCC starts handing out "Warning: Explicit Instruments" stickers and kids

can't buy a saxophone without showing some ID". - Pitchfork Media

 

Yes, that's right, saxophone. Not in that friendly, smoochy Kenny G kind of way, or even in the

swingingly-tidy rhythmic ska sense - think of James Chance and a migraine, or Albert Ayler on an

especially bad hangover, and you're getting the picture.
