Rock Plaza Central was a band from Toronto, Canada, formed in 1996 by novelist Chris Eaton. Initially performing under the moniker Rock Plaza Central, Eaton released his debut album Quantum Butterass in 1997 with backing members of People from Earth. The band's lineup solidified in August 2003 when Eaton invited Don Murray on mandolin and trumpet, Blake Howard on drums, John Whytock on accordion and trumpet, Scott Maynard on bass, and Rob Carson as a multi-instrumentalist to join him permanently. The band released The World Was Hell to Us in 2003. In 2006, they recorded their breakthrough album Are We Not Horses, a critically acclaimed science fiction concept album about six-legged robotic horses. The album received positive reviews from Pitchfork and Magnet. Following the release of ...At the Moment of Our Most Needing in 2009, Rock Plaza Central went on hiatus in 2010. Their fifth album, Cover Me with Brule., was released in 2012.
