Platinum Moon is an American hard-rock and pop-rock band based in Katonah, New York.[1][2]

The band was formed in 2018[3] by South Salem, New York brothers Anton (guitar and violin) and Joseph Klettner (keyboards/piano and guitar). They were joined by singer Ava Anduze, whom they contacted after watching her perform in a YouTube video,[4] and drummer Ethan Grossman, who was found through a local drum instructor.[5] All were teens.[6] Calvin Strothenke was the original bassist;[2] he was replaced by Toby Dorfman in the following years.[7] In addition to the songwriting done by the Klettner brothers, who have classical training,[8][9][4] Anduze, a songwriting major, also contributes songs to the band. She cites Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles and Dido as influences, and describes the band's style as "Modern rock influenced by classic rock, with a little bit of alternative and blues influences".[10] The band initially promoted itself by posting covers online.[11] During the COVID-19 pandemic, they used the downtime to intensify their social media activities.[12]

The band won first place at the 2019 Connecticut's Got Talent competition.[13] Since then, they have performed at venues across the East Coast, and also at various festivals, including Sail Across The Sun in Miami, FL, The Big E, Pleasantville Music Festival (opening for X Ambassadors[14]), and the Mazzstock festival.[15][10] They were headliners of the Summer Concert Series in Danbury, Connecticut.[6]

The band has released two albums, Wild Minds and Under the Riptide,[16] and an EP, Friction, released in 2023.[11]
