The reigning champions of the animal-rock genre, San Francisco's Heavy Petting Crew provides a soundtrack for pet lovers with their debut full-length album Songs Our Pets Taught Us.

Fronted by epic divas Churro Lita and Moo Von G, with appearances by vocalists Mistress Blinja, Bro Derek and Rock Machlockison the album is full of stylistic twists and turns. All the music was written and performed by the mysterious and gifted multi-instrumentalist Stan and the album was produced by legendary hip-hop producer Dave Paul.

Stan Records was formed by the legendary Stan and his rock diva wife Churro Lita. They first began their musical adventure together way back in the mid-90's. Stan would sing songs to his dog, and his then girlfriend, Churro Lita. After adopting two devilish cats, the songs then took off in another direction. Stan's love for his black and white tuxedo cat was the inspiration for his first hit single, "Meatbar Stew." And his complete and total adoration for his calico cat led to the next track, "Muted Calico." Churro Lita, not only being a rock diva, is also a vet technician who takes care of sick and injured animals in their homes. Her many clients become like extended family members over time. Stan gets to know most of these special animals also, and is then inspired to write songs about them. "Sam's Song," "Ginger," and the super catchy "Pippin and Gremilio" were all influenced by Churro Lita's relationships with her animal clients. After searching the Bay Area for vocalists that were willing to sing songs about animals, illnesses, anal glands and cat butts, Stan and Churro Lita were thrilled to recruit Miss Moo Von G. Her sultry, yet powerful voice seemed like a perfect fit for the Stan Records family. Her debut song, "Satan Baby," was an instant hit on the 2007 Stan Records Christmas compilation CD. Stan and Churro Lita were thrilled to be working with such awe-inspiring talent, and immediately signed Moo Von G to an exclusive, expensive, long term contract. Stan and Churro Lita both agree that she is worth every penny. She's a true gem.
