Pluto Gang is a pop-punk foursome from Simsbury, Connecticut. If you know Simsbury, an affluent suburb of Hartford and center of the Insurance industry, you might think they were successful. Instead, these guys work the sorts of jobs usually reserved for immigrants. The band is composed of Dorian Fenczak, Karl Bad Manners, Mr. Chris, and Hank Marduk Harlott III., Jr. Dorian, a former figure skater and pizza man, sings and plays guitar. Karl, an aspiring mortician and expert pizza eater, plays bass. Mr. Chris, a reprobate, plays the drums and likes cars, and Hank Marduk Harlott III, jr., the newest member of the band, adds an impressive lead guitar and a brooding/retarded country style. Their name comes from a Kurt Vonneguts book Breakfast of Champions, where its the name of a fictional group that later becomes real. Thats what the Gang is all about.
Pluto Gang was started in the summer of 2001, when Dorian reformed his old high school band. He had been playing hardcore, but grew tired of always pretending to be angry, and wanted to return to music where he could sing about being happy about being sad about girls. The band quickly started playing shows and recording demos, and changing members, until clicking together as their current line up for the recording of their first full-length album, The Triumph of Sisyphus, which is now distributed to every Hot Topic in CT and parts of Mass.
Pluto Gang has opened for Murphys Law, The Alkaline Trio, Against Me, The Living End, the Dickies, DOA, Less than Jake,10 Foot Pole, the Gamits, the Queers, Social Distortion, The Slackers, Flogging Molly, Tiger Army, mc chris, Two Skinny Jays, and Jim. They have played Bitch Mountain Bash ( Lake Placid) 3 consecutive years as well as playing bars and clubs throughout southern New England. They have toured in Upstate New York, and the South. They played at the Warped Tour in Philadelphia in 2004, Warped Tour 2005 PA. and marketed themselves at approximately a third of the other tour dates that same year. Their live show usually consists of 10 to 15 songs done back to back in a blistering ½ hour set, with novel pop-culture references in each performance of their song Book Boy and occasional covers.
The band is now eight songs into writing their new album, which will focus on girls, alienation, and medieval zombies. Their music has been used in the independent film Save the Forest, from Up on the Roof productions, and used on the Outdoor Networks coverage of the Gravity Games. They just bought a new van, toured the east coast in the spring of 05 and are salivating to hit the road again.
