The Australian guitarist talks about collaborations, touring the world and future plans
IN 2016, THE GRIND AND EXTREME METAL loving crowd at Brutal Assault in Czech Republic showed their love for Aussie prog guitarist Plini in their own special way—they pranced around to make one of the happiest moshpits you’ll ever see, befitting for the smooth, starry and soulful instrumental music his band plays.
The Sydney-based guitarist, whose full name is Plini Roessler-Holgate, laughs over the phone as soon as Brutal Assault is mentioned. He says, “There are some cities where the crowds are naturally more energetic, but it’s never got to that sort of extreme level.” He’s quick to mention that he’s looking forward to his set at Vh1 Supersonic in Pune on February 11th, fully well-versed with its electronic music-leaning beginnings. He says, “It’ll be interesting even at Supersonic, I think, because until this year, it’s always been an electronic festival. So that’ll be interesting, maybe everyone will be raving.”
