PLASTIC AGE
the band
Plastic Age was formed when
Robert Johnson moved to Gainesville and created a new musical sensation.
Within short order he'd recruited some local musicians and
Plastic Age
was born.
Plastic Age played all-original songs in the clubs of Gainesville
for several years in the mid-80's and gave some very memorable performances.
The band personnel remained virtually unchanged, save for a succession
of bass players that came and went and sometimes came back again. Their
most notable - yet final- gig was on the Fourth of July, 1987 at the Downtown
Plaza in Gainesville. They played for an appreciative audience of several
hundred screaming fans. Well, maybe they weren't screaming, but there was
a lot of them.

Doug Keesecker, infamous member of the Band
of Fools also played bass intermittently with the band.
Often imitated never duplicated, Ron could arguably be considered the
sixth member of Plastic Age. He has always been there, giving
his support and photographing the band. Here's an example of what the Wizard
of Odd has been up to lately! Check out one of Ron's
poems.
