Allegedly from Toronto, Rock Plaza Central took New York City by storm this weekend -- opening for Oxford Collapse at The Glasslands in Brooklyn on Saturday, and for Montreal's Malajube and Atlanta's Snowden at the Mercury Lounge in Manhattan on Sunday. An unbelievably energized ensemble of strings, brass, and percussion, Rock Plaza Central just might be this year's most exciting musical breakthrough. The New York crowds seem to have corroborated this claim, as they wouldn't let the band leave the stage without playing at least one encore -- now, how often does that happen with an opener?
Rock Plaza Central plays Lee's Palace tonight at 8 p.m. - check them out yourself and see how long you can keep them onstage before the headliners, Denver's The Apples In Stereo come on.

Why do you say "allegedly"?
Yeah, what the heck? Are they not from Toronto?
When introducing the band during the shows this weekend, Chris Eaton described them as 'allegedly' from Toronto... I guess they are from all over the east coast and find themselves in Toronto. Sorry for the confusion.
Close enough for me. Hardly anyone in Toronto is actually from Toronto.
why is their name so dumb?
Kate,
It's not that our name is so dumb it's just that YOU think it is.....
As far as the "allegedly" goes, it was the border guard CROHN that spoke the word when we told him our dumb band name.
Just the facts! We all hade a complete blast at Glasslands and we haven't been the same since.
