Pluto are going into the studio to record
the first single (from the new album) to be released
late this month/early November. Although the album is
mostly
done, they wanted
something that was fresh for them as well as for everyone
else.
On a lighter note, they played a great
gig at the Dogs Bollix in Auckland on Thursday night
and even managed to rub shoulders with the Black Rebel
Motorcycle Club who were in town that night, and caught
their set!

Sounds like Pluto had a great time in Australia!
They managed to score themselves a one album deal with
Karmic Hit Records/MGM Distribution, and will be releasing
a revamped version of Red Light Syndrome (with a few
different tracks and bonus b-sides) as early as September.
In addition, Pluto have resolved their legal dispute
with Antenna Records and have now left the label. They
are now free to release the new album with whoever they
like, so things are looking pretty good!

Spread the word to our Aussie neighbours, Pluto will be heading across the
ditch to play Sydney on 22nd May! And then two more dates in Melbourne with
Cassette. The band have contributed the song Hey Little on a promo compilation
for a company wanting to release Red Light Syndrome, so one of the reasons
for the mini-tour to show case the band. Go Pluto!

On Your Own has been announced as the second single from Pluto's upcoming album.
Look out for the music video coming soon!
Unfortunately a few legal issues have been holding back the release of Pluto's
second album. Keyboardist Matthias Jordan says:
"There is some light at the end of the tunnel that has been
the legal hold ups with the second album, it's all done but we
have been unable to make that many moves while the mess is being
tidied up. Perfectly Evil has gotten good rotation on Juice and
M2 and we have just started work on the second video for On Your
Own which will be the second single from the new album. So new
stuff will keep coming out to spite hold ups. Nevertheless the
second album will be worth the wait, we are really happy with
it, not to mention looking forward to playing all the new tunes."
In addition, there is an apology to those who attended Bandz in the Square
in February:
"Sorry to any fans at Square in Wellington last Saturday
[1st February]. We had howling feedback on stage during the whole
gig from the monitors (that's the last time we don't bring Mike
our sound guy). Still I think it was the same for all the bands
that played."
And apologies from me for the delay in posting this news! Due to technical
issues, I did not receive it until recently. It's probably more reliable to
send news directly to my e-mail: lea@nzoomail.com.
In future news, look forward to a Pluto Discussion Forum coming soon to this
website! |
