Formed during spring 2007 in Geneva by Johann Bourquenez (piano), Raphaël Ortis (bass) and Cyril Bondi (drum) of Diatribes-fame, Plaistow released a first EP on the Swiss Insubordinations Netlabel in September 2007.
The three members met through various netaudio and improv-music networks, like eDogm and Audioactivity. The band name comes from a Squarepusher's track, “Plaistow Flex Out”, and the piano/bass/drums formation is a Jazz archetype.
