George Pettit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Pettit (born on October 2nd, 1982 in Grimsby, Ontario), is the lead vocalist of the popular Canadian band Alexisonfire. He is loved by fans for his unique screaming style and offbeat lyrics. Pettit is known for his energetic onstage, usually wearing tiny shorts and diving into the crowd.
George was also involved in a side project with Wade McNeil (one of the guitarists of Alexisonfire) and two members from the band Jersey; Jordan "Ratbeard" Hastings (current drummer for Alexisonfire) and Sean McNabb, called The Black Lungs. Pettit played the bass guitar for this short lived punk quartet. After the band broke up, Wade McNeil took the name The Black Lungs for his solo project.
Pettit was a 'juror' on two episodes of Video On Trial, a television show on MuchMusic where 5 'jurors' critique and poke fun at selected music videos, and sentence musical artists and bands.
George's favourite movies include Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and Happiness and his favourite books are The Pornographer's Poem and House of Leaves.
Pettit is an avid record collector as well as a talented DJ, taking tips from the great DJ King Tubby.
