The night started out with a solo artist named Jordan Reimer. With only an acoustic guitar and her mature voice she managed to capture the crowd. A very impressive feat considering she is only 15 and has only been playing live for a little over a year. With many girls her age hanging out at a mall or watching some crap TV like “The Hills” and embracing soulless MTV manufactured music, it is a relief to find someone her age embracing real music with heart. You can check her out at jordanreimer.com.
It was then Plastic Parachute’s turn to take the stage. Right off the bat they kicked into a high energy set featuring music from their latest album “Elephants and Giraffes.” With a little unintentional irony their first song was “Four Alarm Fire” (considering they were playing San Diego). The crowd was into them from the first note. Lead singer Deb Hooks had the crowd captivated with her unique blend of endless energy and style.
The band has wholly developed as onstage performers as well. With the addition of a new guitar player, Adam F., and lead guitar player Ricky Brewer pulling double duty on keyboard, they seemed to have found their formula for success. We also can’t forget Clint Johnson banging away on drums and Michael Angelo holding his own on bass.
They've really come a long way in 3 years, going from a straight-up Powerpop band to incorporating elements of Pop, Indie, Dance and even a little Punk for good measure. It seems that no matter where they play or to how many people, Plastic Parachute will always give you 100% at their shows. Their “Elephants and Giraffes” tour runs through mid-December.

Plastic Parachute 11/11/07 at Lestats in San Diego
Plastic Parachute rolled into Southern California for the second time on their cross country tour. After two months on the road, including four shows in the last four days, and another month to go, you would think the band would be taking it easy this late into the tour. However, this is a band that has been on the road for the better part of two years playing nonstop. This night they landed in San Diego at a venue called Lestats.
