A fixture in Southern California’s underground Balkan/gypsy, jazz, and rock music scenes, PLOTZ! has been rocking stages and thrilling audiences for over a decade. Dedicated to a unified and harmonized world-view, PLOTZ! draws inspiration for original compositions from styles, stories, and experiences from all over the world, while maintaining firm roots in traditional Balkan folk music, jazz, and rock. Bringing rock-god energy and intensity to every performance, PLOTZ! explodes off the stage in a jubilant musical celebration of life! Formed in March of 2005 PLOTZ! has played all over Southern California on various stages, clubs, and colleges. In early 2007, they released their first studio album, Extraordinary Renditions on their own PLOTZ! Music Productions label. This CD won international acclaim when it received "Best International Instrumental CD" in the 2007 Toronto Exclusive Magazine Music Awards, as well as "Best Instrumental CD" and "Best Instrumental Song" (Splash, by Daniel Rosenboom) in the 2007 M.A.V.R.I.C.

PLOTZ! has continued to rock audiences all around California and is currently expanding their touring range. In the near future, PLOTZ! plans to go back in the studio to record their most ambitious project yet, including guest artists such as Hands On'Semble and Miroslav Tadic on guitar.
