Pet Lover is an indie-rock band from Chicago, IL.
PL began a long time ago. US sends forces to Persian Gulf. Originally just Kurt (drums) and Brian (guitar). Played in Kurt’s attic first. Wrote songs. Sweat. Laughed. Broke old television sets. Worked on a set of tunes. Influenced by Bauhaus, Superchunk, Helmet, Firehose, et al. Made friends with Jodie. Asked her to join PL. She and her bass accepted. Practiced. Played some shows. Had tacos at Big Horse. Played some more shows. Jodie exits for Starball.
Brian and Kurt contemplate. Drink Whiskey. Meet Mike. Dig his energy. Mike joins PL. Practice. Decide to record an EP. Called it “Spitsbergen”. Released in 1997. Heaven’s Gate cult members commit mass suicide in California. Played more shows. Tightened the verses. Mike departs. Heads West. Continue to write songs. Practice.
Longtime friend Doug (guitar) moves to town. His previous band was Judge Nothing. They were good. Doug joins PL. Learn new songs. India conducts 3 atomic tests despite worldwide disapproval. Boom. Fellow musician and friend Chris (bass) joins band. Wrote songs. Played some live shows. Wore funny hats. Played a 12 minute set at Double Door. Made connection with local radio personality (via Brian’s friend and co-worker Dave). PL decides to be his backing band.
Play DJ’s 20 year anniversary show at Vic Theatre. Brian wears a dress and combat boots. Shouts of “Pet Lover” heard from the crowd. Serendipity. Continue to play shows with Chicago DJ. Succumb to open chords. Learn to harmonize. DJ ousts Kurt and Chris. PL officially goes on hiatus. World awaits consequences of Y2K.
