Pit Er Pat
Chicago post-rock trio Pit Er Pat comprised bassist Rob Doran (a founding member of Alkaline Trio), classically trained pianist Fay Davis-Jeffers, and drummer Butchy Fuego (a onetime contributor to Neutral Milk Hotel). Founded in 2003 as the Blackbirds, they formed to back a local singer/songwriter who abruptly left town for New York City, forcing the trio to compose a set of songs in order to make good on a previously booked live gig; the performance was so successful they opted to continue, soon releasing an EP, Emergency, on their own Mythologies lab...[more]

The latest from this Chicago-based trio of keyboards, bass, and drums. Powerful rhythms provide the solid floor for ethereal melodies and layers of textural samples. Vocals evoke haunting innocence. While ominous imagery is repeated on Pyramids, there's also an equally heavy presence of openness and possibility uniting the dualities that this band has come to represent.

A frantic exercise in cryptic pop. The four songs on this EP, clocking in at around fifteen minutes, are the result of some experimental fragments the band tried out on their last tour. Vocals shimmer alongside twinkling bells, with buoyant backing vocals. The mood then changes with some frantic keyboard and drum arpeggios that delve into prog and DNA territory. Griffin Rodriguez of tour mates Need New body provides vocal support. Like a classic tour EP should, this record is a snapshot of the band in motio [ read more ]

Debut EP from up-and-coming Chicago Sensations, Pit Er Pat. Six hot tracks of guitar-free post rock built around the tight grooves and varying rhythms of drummer Butchy Fuego and bassist Rob Doran (ex-ALKALINE TRIO), and fleshed out by vocalist and keyboard player Fay Davis. Inspired by punk rock, but musically rooted in the more adventurous sounds of bands like Soft Machine, New Age Steppers, and Blonde Redhead, Pit Er Pat has found a new sonic niche. Unnervingly catchy. (Released April 2004)
