Let's make this birthday one to remember.

46 years old (Born on October 08, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Gregori Chad Petree! May your day shine brighter than the neon lights of a Shiny Toy Guns concert and be filled with more excitement than when "We Are Pilots" first rocked our playlists. Your guitar riffs have always been catchier than glitter on velvet pants—impossible to shake off but oh-so-worth-it.

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater adventures, unforgettable melodies, and perhaps fewer tangled microphone cords. Keep inspiring us all with your indie-rock magic; after all these years you're still piloting our hearts through waves of nostalgia and new-wave awesomeness alike. Rock on forever, Chad!
