Commander Yo and The Plutos

Commander Yo and the Plutos are a Trio.  This will be the first real effort to put the Commander Yo project on stage.  Commander Yo is the solo project of John Pilon who has been in the FoCo scene since 1986. Commander Yo (Pilon) has played in many different bands over the years; starting as a bass player in the Denver punk scene in the mid-80's called Western Decadence, Commander Yo then transitioned to many additional projects in FoCo including big band jazz (Wise Acres, Ars Nova), avant garde punk (Lip Smacking Kitty Lunch), indie-rock (Slow Children Playing) prog-metal (Karma Logic) and currently is in Weekend Weather as the lead guitarist.  Commander Yo has three releases on Spotify/Youtube (Eclectica, Irrevocable Trust, Old Addicts) encompassing his love of composing music in many different genres.     

For FoCoMX Commander Yo and the Plutos will consist of Drummer Dr. Eric Olsen who has played in Fort Collins in many different projects including the Rockters. Joining Dr. Olsen on bass will be Scott Sample who plays with Pilon in Weekend Weather.  Commander Yo and the Plutos will feature Pilon's original honky tonk Country/Americana and rock music composition with the occasional cover tune!  Commander Yo and the Plutos are looking forward to FoCo MX!
