Fun facts:
Short Punks in Love consists of Brian Cremins on guitar and vocals and Pearl Ratunil on drums, backing vocals, and violin. When they made their Chicago debut in 2006, they called themselves The Hours and Pearl had just bought a drum set from some kid from Milwaukee who was trying to fund a road trip just like in "American Movie." Brian was playing a solo show at The Red Line Tap and he asked Pearl to bring her drums. By the end of 2006 they had recorded their first, self-titled CD, which "The Illinois Entertainer" compared to The Velvet Underground and Jonathan Richman, which makes sense, since both Pearl and Brian grew up on the East Coast. In 2007 SPiL recorded their second CD, "Good All Over," which was their first studio recording. After releasing their second CD, they played more shows at venues including The Red Line Tap, The Montrose Saloon, Phyllis's, and The Note. In the meantime, they added a velveteen lop named Jackson to their line-up. Jackson promptly "relic-ed" Brian's new Les Paul guitar and also tried to eat his Telecaster--which just goes to show that, after all, a guitar is just a piece of wood. They all live in Chicago with Jackson and their two cats, Ben & Rosie. You can read more about SPiL on their website www.shortpunksinlove.com, at www.chickdrummer.blogspot.com, or catch them at one of their upcoming shows.
We hope you enjoy our new songs and the new CD, which will appear this spring, as long as Jackson doesn't eat the new 4-track!
