Plastic Man Reignites Their Psychedelic Spark in Captivating GRS Studio Live Session

Florence-based psych-pop explorers Plastic Man return in full force with a stunning live session filmed at GRS Recording Studio, showcasing key tracks from their critically acclaimed 2025 album The End and the Beginning alongside a fan favorite from their early catalogue. With a dynamic new lineup and founding member Raffaele Lampronti at the helm, the set breathes fresh life into the band’s kaleidoscopic sound, merging 60s psychedelia, angular rock grooves, and richly textured pop.

The intimate studio backdrop allows the woozy introspection of “Molly”, the sharp, driving pulse of “Mate”, and the swirling nostalgia of “He Didn’t Know” to shine in bold new ways. It’s a fitting showcase for a group in the midst of transformation—both sonic and spiritual.

Drawing on heavier influences like Cream while retaining the cosmic shimmer of XTC and 13th Floor Elevators, The End and the Beginning marks a fearless leap forward in the band’s decade-long evolution. This live session is more than a performance—it’s a statement of rebirth. Following a post-pandemic creative resurgence, Plastic Man channel their signature blend of poetic mysticism and gritty propulsion with renewed clarity and conviction.

With roots in Italy’s underground scene and international appearances from SXSW to Binic Folks Blues Festival, Plastic Man continue to prove they’re not just a band—they’re an ongoing, shape-shifting psychedelic experience. This live set offers a compelling new entry point for fans and a thrilling return for longtime listeners.
