What brought Pet Bacon together? The answer is simple – meat. Pet Bacon met while all of its members were working at Ira’s Deli in Philadelphia. Amanda and Lisa were cashiers. Jonah and Andrew worked the meat slicer. Liz was Ira’s go-to girl for promoting the deli. One day, while drumming away on the counter with two sticks of beef jerky, Lisa exclaimed, “It’s too quiet in here! Let’s start a band!” Jonah was so excited by the idea that he nearly cut off his finger in the meat slicer. Luckily, only a little bit of it was lost. Besides, he’s the singer – hands are unimportant.
Since that fateful day, all of Pet Bacon’s members have been working together to craft their songs, most of which were written at Ira’s Deli. Pet Bacon will be releasing their debut album, Masterbacon, on June 2nd. Be sure to keep checking back as we post new tracks from the album!
