Platinum Moon
American rock band
Platinum Moon is an American rock band based in Katonah, New York.
Since 2024, Platinum Moon has expanded their live presence with tours across the Northeastern United States and Canada, including support slots with artists such as All Time Low, Train, and X Ambassadors. In 2025, they won first place at the Bitter Jester Music Festival, and they are scheduled to perform at the 2026 Welcome to Rockville festival in Daytona Beach, Florida.
History
The band was formed in 2018 by brothers Anton (guitar and violin) and Joseph Klettner (keyboards and guitar). They were joined by singer AvA Anduze, whom they contacted after watching her perform in a YouTube video, and drummer Ethan Grosman, who was found through a local drum instructor. All were teens. Calvin Strothenke was the original bassist, who was later replaced by Toby Dorfman in the following years. In addition to the songwriting done by the Klettner brothers, who have classical training, AvA, a songwriting major, also contributed a lot to the band's original writing. She cites classic rock artists such as Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles as influences, and describes the band's style as "Modern rock influenced by classic rock, with a little bit of alternative and blues influences". In 2019, a local journalist compared the band's style to Janis Joplin, Blondie and Led Zeppelin.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Platinum Moon” as american rock band. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as american rock band. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q132456744. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2018.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
