Nerdtheatrical spectaculastic and slightly near futuristically dystopic.

The Pluto Tapes are a largely fictional, and occasionally real, catchy-indie-rock band made up primarily of Andy Hicks and his imaginary friends. Occasionally, he's joined on-stage by drummer Brad Smith (ex-Strangerways) and others, who accompany Andy's brilliant displays of charmingly self-deprecating loudpop. Also, they do a mean cover of "When I Grow Up" from MATILDA. Nerds, theater kids, and people who genuinely like '90s-'00s half-hit wonders like Abandoned Pools, Ash, and Fretblanket... come thrill to the atomically charged sounds of The Pluto Tapes. What else you got planned... a Shadowrun tournament? A Pete & Pete marathon? A *family*? Bah.
