      Good luck Shuhei and Pet Lions. If we get down to the wire, I could help you out a bit more. Hopefully you can send out another email as the date draws closer :)

Pet Lions

Has not connected their Facebook account.

For having only been around since July 2008, the Chicago indie pop rock band Pet Lions have made quite the name for themselves. The group, comprised of Karl Ostby, Shuhei Yamamoto, Tom Owens, and Matt Dahl, skyrocketed to local notoriety with only their live shows behind them. The energy emitted at every Lions’ show was enough to garner the band a lasting affection of music fans throughout the Midwest. Ready to take their talent to the studio, Pet Lions released their debut EP, Soft Right, in March of 2009. Unlike many bands that struggle through their first EP and founding years, Lions’ debut attempt was met with praise. Their upbeat and airy melodies were a welcome throwback to early-80’s new wave while the clever lyrics made every song distinctly their own.
