As eminent Baltimore funk quartet Pigeons Playing Ping Pong approach fifteen years as a touring act, the band presents Perspective, a twelve-track studio album. PPPP’s storied career has carried the artists across the country, a consistently ascending migration defined by the continuous achievement of milestones, building a success story made possible by an unyielding commitment to craft and a penchant for fun. Perspective is a summative assessment of the journey from a bird’s eye view.

Much to the excitement of Gentle Giant fans worldwide, the band’s final album “Civilian” remastered CD will be released on May 20, 2022! The vinyl LP release of the album will follow later in the year. Gentle Giant’s “Civilian”, was originally released in the spring of 1980, a little over a decade after the bands’ formation. The album was to be the band’s swan song after ten studio albums and one double live album in the ten years of their existence.

As music fans are still coping with a drawn out ending to the pandemic, and when everyone’s seasonal depression has convinced them there is no hope left in the world, a ray of bright warm light is emerging on the horizon in the form of Andy Frasco & The U.N.’s latest LP, Wash, Rinse, Repeat. The album was released on Friday, April 8. 

By this point in time, it has become clear that not everything about the pandemic was a bad thing. We’ve seen some amazing art projects to come out of the weeks that we were all forced into isolation. In the case of the city of Toronto, the newly formed band The Pawn Shop was born out of this era.

The Pawn Shop is made up of musicians who are known both locally and internationally - Phil Tessis and Jaime Rosenberg of the Canadian band After Funk, along with Rob Christian (Larnell Lewis Band), and Alan Zemaitis.
