ABOUT PIGEONS PLAYING PING PONG
If you ever wondered what “seizing the moment” sounds like personified, look no further than Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, the four-piece musical powerhouse known for their head-turning high-energy psychedelic funk shows. Infectious energy is an understatement. The Maryland quartet — “Scrambled Greg” Ormont [vocals, guitar], Jeremy Schon [guitar, vocals], Ben Carrey [bass, vocals], and Alex “Gator” Petropulos [drums, vocals]— squeezes the juice out of every second, and harness life’s energy within their funk, rock and psychedelic groove.
With a devout audience, affectionately known as “The Flock,” and a trail of sold-out tours behind them, the band took a major step forward once again on their seventh full-length offering, Day In Time, released on April 26, 2024.
They’ve tallied tens of millions of streams and performed to impassioned crowds everywhere from Red Rocks Amphitheatre and The Capitol Theatre to festivals such as Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, Jam Cruise, and more. Renowned as a live tour de force, the group notably headlines, curates, and produces their own music and camping festival Domefest—a tradition since 2010.
