First song: Pluto

From Afternoons, 1:09 pm on 5 November 2019

Auckland based rock band Pluto burst onto the NZ music radar when they opened for Neil Finn in 2001. They've also supported big acts such as Duran Duran, Crowded House, Muse, Gomez and The Dandy Warhols. Over the years they've made regular appearances at The Big Day Out and performed twice at the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas.

In 2009 they disbanded but ten years later reunited to complete an unfinished project - their 4th album, simply called Pluto IV. The band is also playing two album release shows - at San Fran, in Wellington on 15 November and the Hollywood Cinema in Auckland on 23 November. Ticket details are here.

Today they're playing an acoustic duo in our Auckland Studio for First Song.
