Pigeons Playing Ping Pong in Concert
Funky jam group Pigeons Playing Ping Pong formed in 2009 in Baltimore, Maryland, when its original members met in a University of Maryland dorm. Releasing their first LP, ‘Funk E P,' the following year, the band would quickly find their sound in an explosive, energetic mix of funk, jazz, and electronic music reminiscent of Phish, Lettuce, and even the Grateful Dead. Their second album, ‘Psychology' (2014), upped their game and featured better production, tighter songwriting, and more focused singing from vocalists Greg Ormont, Jeremy Schon, and Ben Carrey. In 2016's ‘Pleasure,' the band delivered a cornucopia of wailing organs, sprawling melodies, shimmering backbeats, and groovy riffs. The group served up more lighthearted, sprawling psych-tinged funk with 2017's ‘Pizazz.' Their single "Doc" found them thriving with crisp horns and saxophones, while the seductive, groovy "Somethin' For Ya" shows how a little disco goes a long way when it comes to infusing their music with sexiness.
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong has taken on a pretty hearty touring schedule, sometimes playing up to 200 shows a year. In addition, they've hosted Domefest in Bedford, Pennsylvania, since 2009, attracting nearly 2,000 people every year. Their passionate fanbase, affectionately called "The Flock," turns out to see them whenever possible, including for their New Year's Eve headlining shows. This in addition to their numerous officially released live recordings, which give a window into the raucous parties that are Pigeons Playing Ping Pong shows. 2017's ‘The Great Outdoors Jam' captured the ethereal vibes, locked-in grooves, and wayward solos that can be found in their live shows. In 2018, they hit their first Bonnaroo, continuing their ascent. As guitarist and singer Jeremy Schon tells it, their live show "puts out as much energy as possible and promotes lightheartedness and positivity." Suffice it to say, these funk obsessives must be seen live to be truly experienced.
They always put on such a great show. Always on point
Pigeons put on a great show . Their energy and positivity in their performances blows me everytime. I recommend Pigeons to anyone who likes funk, jam, and dancing their butts off!
Great PPPP show, loved Andy Falsco and the UN opener
The Sunday night show was awesome, the old saying "never miss a Sunday show" was definitely true. The band was on fire all night, and with a one song set( 63 minute one song second set) it was one to remember. This was the first time I had ever been to Port City Music Hall and I will definitely be going back. It is setup nicely and is a great small intimate venue. Great night of great music.
The pigeons playing in the legendary Stone Pony in front of die hard fans was absolutely electric! These guys had endless energy and lit the Pony up. I am hopelessly hooked now!
Saw PPPP for the 3rd time. What a fun show. The band mixed up the set list leading off with a lot of funky jam. It was great seeing them up close. Sound in Stone Pony is amazing
Very very very solid show can’t wait for them to come back!
2.5 hrs of nonstop High Energy Jamming, couldn't have been more pleased. Glad Strange Machines opened,Fit in perfectly with their funky synth & bass. Wish they had some cd's tho. Cant wait to see both bands again or to go back to the paradise. Thanks for the great night!
Gramercy theater was rocking Saturday night, first with Animal Reporters- funky, bluesy- fantastic! Then Pigeons- great show!
