Local stalwarts The Plastic Constellations will join me at 8p.m. Thursday, playing live and chatting about their long and storied career in the TC's music scene. The new cd Crusades came out this week and they play two shows at the Triple Rock Friday to celebrate. Then they are going out on tour with The Hold Steady representing the cream of our scene down in Austin for SXSW. I'm jazzed to have them on.
