- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Since its inception in 2005, Otter Petter has become a staple of the Chicago
music scene, delivering "big, bright, hooky tunes with their hearts pinned
proudly on their sleeves" (Chicago Reader). The indie-pop quintet features
brothers Michael (guitar, vocals) and William Pritchard (drums), Raphael
Dussaussoy (guitars, keyboards), Amy Anderson (bass, vocals) and Jeremy
Tromburg (keyboards).
Otter Petter's latest release, "Nice Night for a Knife Fight," was recorded
at Clava Studios in Chicago by Colin Sipos (Iron & Wine, Califone, Steepwater
Band). The album features a bigger and more mature sound than 2008's
"Fireflies and Lamplights," which was greeted with glowing reviews. The
melodies found within are "devastatingly infectious" (New City), and
described as a "perfect blend of roots rock, sugary pop and complex indie
rock" (Gapersblock ).
During the last two years, the band has performed throughout the Midwest and
East Coast, including a showcase at CMJ in New York, appearances at Six Flags
Great America and was even filmed in the NBC Pilot TV show "State of
Romance." The band was tapped by director Peter Sollet ("Nick and Nora's
Infinite Playlist") to film segments at the Double Door and Millennium Park
in Chicago.
Otter Petter emerged on the Chicago music scene in 2005 with their
self-titled, five-song EP. In 2006, Otter Petter was chosen by the Chicago
Tribune as one of 10 bands to compete in the "Metromix Rock 'n' Vote"
contest. Readers voted Otter Petter as one of the four winning bands to play
a show at Metro in Chicago. Otter Petter has also been featured on CLTV
television, WXRT radio, The Chicago Sun Times, The Chicago Reader, Newcity
Chicago, The Illinois Entertainer, City Beat Magazine, and musicOMH . The
band has performed with other notable indie rock/pop bands including The
French Kicks, The Rosebuds, Wheat, Bound Stems and Irving.
