Profile Generator Fuelled by heartbreak and hangovers, and with influences ranging from Mars Volta, to King Crimson, to Nick Drake, London-based My Pet Junkie are a very distinctive three-piece. My Pet Junkie have released two self-funded CDs and launched their debut album When You're Not Busy at the Garage (main venue) in October 2004, setting a new attendance record at the venue for a support band. A resulting Garage (main venue) headline slot in March 2005 again shocked promoters as My Pet Junkie wowed a crowd of hundreds. My Pet Junkie have toured the country in promotion of what has been a DIY project to the last. They have maintained a solid and ever-increasing fan base through playing regular, successful gigs as a part Londons underground scene, and recently impressed mainstream crowds at the London Astoria 2, Rhythms of the World Festival (headline slot), Camden Underworld (which was filmed for broadcast on Alternative Music Television), and the Kentish Town Forum supporting Ned's Atomic Dustbin. Thrilling to watch, with a truly unique style and songs that are at once both beautiful and bizarre, My Pet Junkie are London's best-kept secret.
