Bio
Rules of Attraction was born around the time that their former 6-piece band, the Monsignors, was calling it quits. Mike Puljung had begun rocking out on the side with former Monsignors drummer Alex Pekar in late 1998. After the Monsignors broke up in early 1999, Mike and Alex added bass player Andy Preston to the mix. Soon after Andy joined the band, Alex moved away and was replaced by Matt Barr. It was then that they knew they had something special brewing.
The 3-piece quickly began playing shows all over Chicago and were an instant success. They carried their excitement into the studio in early 2001 and recorded the one-sided LP, Geometry of Impact. The 4-songed EP was well received by the public and in turn they had the great fortune of opening for the Poster Children at the Empty Bottle in Chicago during Thanksgiving weekend 2001. The EP also caught the eye of Sinister Label, and in turn R(a) showed up on the compilation "Chicago: Arise from the Ashes".
From 2002 to early 2005, R(a) has been playing steadily, although slightly less frequently due to Mike's school load. Early this year Mike graduated from the University of Chicago (hooray!). To celebrate his graduation, R(a) is currently in the studio recording their first full length CD. Look for R(a) to come to a town near you this summer.
