Artist description The Party Platters were more of a movement than a band. Their musical styles shifted as much as lead singer Mr.Dave's personalities. They always played live, even in the studio - recording directly to the master - often on standard cheap cassette tape. No regular member of the Giant Party Platters (as they were originally known) was particularly good at singing or playing any instrument but that didn't stop them from doing it anyway. The Party Platters created music like a psychotic bartender - putting anything and everything into the mix until anebriated or sickened by the results.
