Artist description That Blue Thing is a figment of The Plastic Raisin Orchestra's collective imagination. The Orchestra itself is comprised of several fictional musicians created in the mind of That Blue Thing. The resulting anomaly in the space time continuum causes pure m usical ear candy to be created from a pool of talent which is so incredibly minimal in its abilities that only a massive rip in the fabric of space time can explain the resulting music that is presented here. gˇ

Artist History Kevin was once a part of the powerful and industrious TriangleMan, in its formative years before it had any success, and coincidentally enough, the week after he left the band, they shot to the top of the charts. Dumb luck, I say! Anyway, Kevin and his entourage of imaginary polymer-based dried fruit replicas work feverishly to keep up with them (and often have to take time off due to all the fevers, and yet they record approximately 8,256 songs per week.) They occasionally crank out a few good ones here and there, which are displayed here. Kind of like the old adage of a thousand monkeys with typewriters, except without the monkeys, and much fewer typewriters. /

Press Reviews "That Blue Thing call themselves "more of an experiment than a band." Roughly translated, that means they use Industrial-sized beats,droning guitars and, as a nice contrast, delicate-to-the touch boy/girl vocals. Even with all the coarse textures, songs e nd up being ineffably pretty and intriguingly soft around the edges. " - Listen.comm
