Pet Lions Indie Rock Music From Chicago
Monday, March 22nd, we’re playing a FREE SHOW at The Empty Bottle! It’s also a homecoming show of sorts, as we’ll just be arriving back in Chicago from a trip down to Austin, Texas for SXSW.
The show is totally free, so come on and out and bring everyone you know. Empty Bottle always rocks.
SOLD OUT!
Thanks to everyone who came out The Hideout Saturday night, and sorry to everyone who was turned away due to the show selling out. We hate to send anyone home from one of our shows, but it’s always awesome when you great folks come out and support us like that. Also, for the record, we rarely send people home, so don’t start worrying about that!
Also, thanks to DJs Bald E. and Mother Hubbard, along with all their guests, who kept the party shaking into the early hours of the morning. It was our first gig at The Hideout, and we definitely want to get back there in the near future. What an awesome place to see/play a show.
We are currently sitting in the studio on our last day finalizing mixes and getting things ready for mastering. So far, we think things are sounding pretty damn good, but maybe we’re a bit biased. Regardless, we’re really excited to get this stuff out so you can hear it and make your own decision. The folks up here at SPACE in Evanston have been awesome, and the studio is incredibly comfortable. If we could, we’d move in. They also make a damn good pizza at the attached restaurant, Union Pizza. A studio and some pizza…what else do you need? A big thanks goes to our engineer Dan Glomski, who helped make this stuff sound great. Below are Dan and Karl at the desk.
We all know the day after Christmas is a bit of a bummer. The good news is, you probably have the day off work/school, have friends in town, and now…you’ve got kick ass plans!
12/26 we’ll be playing at The Empty Bottle, and this is a show you won’t want to miss. We’re playing alongside a couple great Chicago bands, Unicycle Loves You, and We Will Eat Rats To Survive. DJ Screeble Dee will keep the party alive between sets, so you can essentially shake it non-stop, all night long.
The Empty Bottle is one of the best places to see rock music in Chicago, and they have a mighty fine (and affordable) selection of beers, wines, and spirits that will be sure to keep you warm on this predictably cold winter’s night.
So come on out and keep the festivities rolling all the way until the new year! Tickets are available here.
A nice look at the Laughing Prairie Dog Festival we participated in over the weekend. Many thanks to WPGU for putting together this awesome event, and for letting us be a part of the inaugural lineup!
Looking for something awesome to do this weekend? Well, we’ve got your answer. Friday night we’ll be playing at the Laughing Prairie Dog Festival in Champaign-Urbana, hosted by WPGU and Canopy Club.
It’s the inaugural year of the festival, and they are kicking it off with one hell of a lineup which includes:
Smoking Popes, Headlights, Hood Internet, Santahh, Common Loon, and your very own, Pet Lions.
We’ve never had a bad night in Champaign-Urbana, and we don’t plan on starting this weekend. Nothing like a great lineup of bands in the heart of a great college town. That means lots of music, and lots of partying. So come join us!
Matt here, checking in from beautiful Maui, Hawaii. I’m not trying to rub it in or anything, but you should be jealous. In the above video, the sun is setting over the island of Lanai, and I filmed a few seconds of it from the beach on Maui. I’ll try to drop a few more updates on you, but between swimming in the ocean, laying on the beach, and stuffing my face, I might not have the time.
Don’t forget, we’re playing the Laughing Prairie Dog Festival in Champaign-Urbana Dec 4th with Smoking Popes, Headlights, Hood Internet, Santahh, and Common Loon. It’s the inaugural year of the festival, and we are very excited to be a part of it. Hope you can join us!
Check out this cool article about the band from today’s Chicago Tribune entitled, “Hear Pet Lions roar”. Not only do we roar, but some of us play soccer, too.
And don’t forget to come see us next week at Bottom Lounge!
We are very excited to announce that we will be playing at the Laughing Prairie Dog Festival in Champaign-Urbana on December 4th. The (rather awesome) lineup includes: The Smoking Popes, Headlights, The Hood Internet, Santah, and Common Loon. It’s a brand new festival being put on by the great people at WPGU, and will take place at the Canopy Club. We are pumped to be a part of this event, and always enjoy a trip down to good old Chambana! Grab your ticket here.
