Michael G. Plumides Jr., J.D., is the voice of an underdocumented and mythical age of music. A Charlotte, North Carolina native, Plumides is a writer, and the author of the critically acclaimed indie book, KILL THE MUSIC (2009), available on www.amazon.com.
Here’s the link to purchase KILL THE MUSIC in paperback or ebook:
His book, KILL THE MUSIC, is described as “a love letter to the real ideals of rock” and also said to be “possibly the best memoir written this year by a guy you’ve never heard of.”
KILL THE MUSIC recently hit three top ten categories on Amazon’s Kindle Store, and was heralded as one of the best rock books of 2009 by Fred Mills, the Managing Editor of BLURT Magazine (www.blurt-online.com).
KILL THE MUSIC has been featured in a number of print and online publications, such as Charleston Post and Courier, Innocent Words, The Charlotte Observer, Creative Loafing, The Flagpole-Athens, InSite-Atlanta, Spinning Indie, and neufutur.com, to name a few, and had an excerpt of KILL THE MUSIC published in the 2009 winter issue of BLURT MAGAZINE (voted one of the top website launches of the year).
Plumides takes an occasional acting job, most recently as the “Captain of the North Carolina State Troopers” in the film, BLOOD DONE SIGN MY NAME (2010), appearing opposite actor Michael Rooker (The Walking Dead, Mississippi Burning, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer).
Plumides is also ”a man of many faces” appearing live in Atlanta and Charlotte as a singer, impersonating legendary rock stars such as Freddy Mercury of Queen, Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead, Ozzy Osborne in full make up, and does an amazing impersonation of Ian Astbury, fronting the tribute band, PURE CULT .
Recently Michael has turned his attention toward writing screenplays, producing, and directing. In his debut, Plumides will direct the upcoming feature film, GHOST TREK, to be shot in Charlotte, NC and its environs in early 2011. Plumides wrote the film in 2010 and although the film is an “indie”, it has already garnished attention from the likes of Jason Tracey, Executive Producer of the hit TV show BURN NOTICE, calling GHOST TREK both “promising” and “well-written.” The GHOST TREK feature film will be shot in early 2011. The GHOST TREK TV PILOT goes to production in December 2010.
Plumides also recently co-wrote a film, 360, with award winning Director, Kent Smith, currently in development to be filmed in 2011.
Michael G. Plumides. Jr is a graduate from the University of South Carolina with a degree in Government and International Studies. Plumides also holds a Doctorate in Jurisprudence from John Marshall Law School.
