Pluto’s huge radio hits Dance Stamina and Long White Cross are two of the New Zealand’s most anthemic rock songs from the early 2000's; the band’s trajectory quickly exploded as their music became omnipresent on airwaves throughout the country.
Renowned for their live performance, Pluto’s live show is testament to their mastery of multi-layered rock music, from indie, moody, and restrained tunes, to hook-laden hand-clap pop; from angular and energetic songs to psych-rock ballads. They are acknowledged for being ahead of the trending musical curve, harnessing the mastery of their musicianship to create award-winning bodies of work and increasing numbers of fans with each release.
Milan says, “We're excited to get out on tour again and play some of our favourite places - especially Christchurch and Lyttleton! It’s been too long since we’ve played in the South Island. Christchurch used to be our favourite place to play, which is why we’ve added two dates there.”
Pluto tour facts:
