Pet Fox
When and Where: Friday, July 29 at 7:30 p.m. at The Crystal Ballroom.
Band Bio: The members of Pet Fox are driven as much by restless creativity and mutual admiration as they are the pursuit to write a perfect pop song. The Boston based trio comprised of Theo Hartlett (vocals, guitar), Morgan Luzzi (bass), and Jesse Weiss (drums) have all spent years playing in bands that include Ovlov, Palehound, and Grass Is Green among others, but Pet Fox is an outlet all their own. The band write songs together, drawing upon influences that range from The Beatles to Pinback, but their sound is still rooted in scrappy hooks and a DIY mentality that saw the band self-release two full length records in the span of a year, amid a busy schedule of shows (both as Pet Fox and with their other respective projects).
Fun Fact: “Pet Fox has a new album coming out this spring/summer!”
