History
Pluto formed in 1993 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. They were active from 1993 to 1999. The band was nominated for Best New Group at the 1997 Juno Awards.
After independently releasing a number of singles, the band released its debut album Cool Way to Feel in 1995 on Mint Records. They followed by a four-song EP in 1996. They subsequently signed to Virgin Records, for whom they released two full-length albums.
Their single "Paste" appeared on the first Big Shiny Tunes compilation. A live performance of their song "Failure", recorded on CBC Stereo's Night Lines in 1994, was also released in 2006 on the compilation album Mint Records Presents the CBC Radio 3 Sessions.
With the band's music no longer widely available in stores, they have made both of their Virgin Records albums available as free downloads from their Myspace profile.

“No matter how vital experience might be while you lived it, no sooner was it ended and dead than it became as lifeless as the piles of dry dust in a school history book.”

“Anything in history or nature that can be described as changing steadily can be seen as heading toward catastrophe.”

“Let us not underrate the value of a fact; it will one day flower in a truth. It is astonishing how few facts of importance are added in a century to the natural history of any animal. The natural history of man himself is still being gradually written.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
