Up until this point, Air Credits have brought back many warnings from the nearfuture. After endless ricochet between timelines, the band has found themselves aligned with the present one. The moment is now. Believe That You’re Here.

Little-known but widely-confusing band, We Ate Plato, was the musical spawn of Mike Starcevich (lead vocals, bass), Matt Talbott (lead guitar, lead vocals), K.C. Driscoll (rhythm guitar), and Russell Armstrong (drums, backing vocals). During a plentiful time for alternative rock in Champaign, Illinois in the late 80's, their tree bore strange fruit. Known to only to themselves as "the big jungle beat", this curious cabal of musical misfits was rumored to have more performances than rehearsals, and it showed. They opened for such varied artists as Yo La Tengo, Mavis Staples, and Designer Mustard Gas, whose only connection was the utter disbelief they shared at what had happened on stage right before they played. After the band's timely demise, Matt & K.C. went on to help co-found Champaign's own, Honcho Overload, Russ founded the Orlando-based band Fizzbin, Mike did improv comedy and made music videos & films in Chicago, and Matt later co-founded Hum (RCA) and Centaur.

Most bands focus their time on making coherent, enjoyable albums, and after a critical mass are published they unloose a compilation of unreleased tracks, demos, and random belly button lint (e.g. R.E.M.'s "Dead Letter Office”). But We Ate Plato was not most bands, and dove headlong into the belly button lint from the jump. Eventually they cobbled together a random batch of Yamaha 4-track recordings and rehearsal tapes onto the single side of a Maxell cassette called "Living Leftovers". God bless you for listening.

Eventually these dead skin cells, dust bunnies, and hairballs were tossed to and fro until they cobbled themselves into the shape of a Maxell cassette called "Living Leftovers". God bless you for listening.
