Pit er Pat is a female fronted indie/Nu Jazz group from Chicago. They consist of Fay Davis-Jeffers on keyboard and vocals, Rob Doran on bass, and Butchy Fuego on drums. Their sound is very atmospheric and has a dark ambiance that is similar to other instrumental avant-garde groups in the indie genre. The vocals offered by Fay give the band a well rounded sound like that of another female fronted indie band, the Fiery Furnaces, whom Pit er Pat toured with in the winter of 2007.
