Pigeons Playing Ping Pong brought their high-energy show to The Boulder Theater for a two night stand and, judging by the rabid crowd who packed out the room both nights, they were glad they did. This energetic young band definitely brings a lot of enthusiasm to the stage, and their sound is everything a jam band might want.
Last Saturday Pigeons Playing Ping Pong threw down a show at The Ogden Theatre that left many in the sold-out crowd gasping for air. After a rousing open set from Joe Hertler & The Rainbow Seekers, Pigeons took the stage for their largest headlining show to date to a deafening roar and immediately dropped into “Walk Outside” from their fan favorite 2016 album Pleasure. It was a coming out party of sorts for Pigeons and they did not disappoint. These boys are the real deal and they will be on the scene for a long time to come.
Funk, Rock, Electronic ENERGY: These four Pigeons bring it every night. Based out of Baltimore, MD, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong has an undeniably unique and versatile live sound that ascends peaks of musical ecstasy. Their evolving arrangement of original compositions, psychedelic improvisational jams, and contagious smiles have ‘The Flock’ growing and coming back for more.
It’s simple, it’s summertime and there is an overabundance of festivals here in Colorado. It is a blessing and a curse for local audiophiles: while there are always fun things to do, not all festivals are created equal, and discerning one from another can be tricky. For the old school veterans and young flower children of our Coloradical music scene, we’d like to introduce you to the Groove Music & Arts Festival. Check out our preview for what’s in store as well as an exclusive Q&A with one of the festival’s creators.
Last Saturday night at Cervantes’ Other Side the usual Denver Jamband suspects were out in force to groove to the tunes of the “daddies and granddaddies” of the Jam scene: Phish and the Grateful Dead as DeadPhish Orchestra delivered two monster sets of favorites culled from the catalogs of both seminal jambands. From “Birds of a Feather” to a perfectly executed “You Enjoy Myself” and “Birdsong” to “Cumberland Blues” these boys proved yet again they’ve got the chops.
