“….a sneer that sounds like shit tastes, and he spits it
across this fuzzing Sonic Youth barrage while his guitar gentle pukes. Somehow
it ends up pretty euphoric. Weird.”

Zayd Thring is Pets With Pets. Starting in late
2006, with a home recorded EP, Zayd took on the moniker Pets With Pets soon
thereafter. In 2007 he took on a drummer, the first of many that define the
group over the years, and started playing shows as a band. From the
start, Pets With Pets have garnered attention from the likes
of NME, and have gained a cult following. Now it is time for the
Australian duo to head to the States for their first trip to SXSW. Announcing a
handful of shows at the festival, we are about to get our first taste of what Pets
With Pets has to offer.
Last year saw the band releasing Saturday Aquatic
Pixie Acid, released on Sensory Projects, to critical acclaim. Following
that Pets With Pets did a national tour that included 2 sold
out shows in Melbourne. No small feat!
Alongside Zayd is bassist Ash Buscombe from Witch Hats, Will
Macfarlane on synthesizer from The Shocking Pinks (who were signed to DFA
Records) and Alex MacFarlane on drums.
Currently releasing their debut U.S. single just in time for
SXSW, the infectious track “Pixie Child” will soon become your favorite song
for 2012…already. Psychedelic guitars, steady and tight drumming, is layered
with intricate synthesizers, that blend in with squeaky vocals. This brilliant
combination will catch your attention right from the start. Along the likes of
indie lo-fi favorites, Sonic Youth and Waaves, Pets With Pets will
blow you away….and your eardrums as well. But in the best way possible.
Be sure to catch the band at their select SXSW shows. Pets
With Pets are also available for interviews, and additional SXSW
shows. For all press inquiries, please contact me at Melissa@TheMusebox.net
