Formed in 2012 from the ashes of Tricky Woo, C’mon, Bella Clava, Lying Cheats, Change of Heart, Starvin’ Hungry, etc., Public Animal was named after an Alice Cooper song. Their high energy show finds vocalists Ian Blurton and Caitlin Dacey layering fuzz guitar and distorted organ over the groove-oriented rhythm section of Eric Larock and Ryan Gassi. The four diverse writers have built a sweat-soaked shrine to ‘60s/’70s rock, a greasy machine held together by strands of psych, pop, prog, garage, doom, shoegaze and soul. They have released records on Yeah Right!, Teenage Rampage, No List/Noise Agony Mayhem, Squirtgun in Canada and Electrohasch in Germany.
