Editor's Note: We interviewed Greg Ormont following Pigeons Playing Ping Pong's recent show at Pier 17, only to discover that our recording had failed due to technical difficulties. Despite our efforts to recover parts of the audio, we were unsuccessful, which was particularly disappointing as Ormont’s insights were incredibly honest and powerful. As a result, we incorporated our recollections of his words into this review of the show. He’s an incredible individual, and we hope you enjoy this mashup.
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong returned to the Brooklyn Bowl Philadephia, PA with the flock on December 15, 2023. This bird band quartet played a pair of heaters in 2022 at this unique venue and raised the stakes.
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong returned for another night of high flying funk and good times at the Brooklyn Bowl in Brooklyn, NY on April 14, 2023. They played a rare three night stand at the well known New York City venue. Night two was one for the ages and almost non-stop for two sets. Several members of the indie soul band Melt joined the fun at various points.
Three night stands are a luxury for jam rock fans and bands, as neither has to travel and can enjoy the surroundings for the run's duration. This was certainly the case for Pigeon's Playing Ping Pong's three night run at the famed Brooklyn Bowl in Brooklyn, NY, which kicked off on April 13, 2023. The band rewarded their dedicated fans with a Thursday night inferno at the former warehouse in the popular Williamsburg neighborhood, which included two hot covers.
The time honored jam band tradition of covering other bands as a "Halloween costume" was unequivocally alive and well this past Halloween weekend. The highly creative quartet Pigeons Playing Ping Pong dressed up as the Who Fighters at College Street Music Hall in New Haven, CT on October 29, 2022.
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong migrated to Atlantic City, NJ for a raging three hour Phish after party last Saturday night at Sound Waves inside the Hard Rock Hotel.
