Pigeons Playing Ping Pong
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, not only are they full of funk and spunk, but they are also one of the fastest growing Jam Bands today. Promoting their new album “Pizazz”, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong kicked off their rather large tour at the Boulder Theater last night, October 6th. All of their fans, or as they like to call, their “Flock”, migrated into the theater for what they didn’t know was going to be one epic dance party.
Carrying the torch of the great funk bands such as Tower of Power, Sly and the Family Stone, and James Brown into the 21st century, comes Deep Banana Blackout. With full horn section, and soulful groove imbedded in the roots of funk, Deep Banana is the leader of today's emerging funk rock scene. The band's sound captures commercial accessibility augmented with tight musical arrangements and limited improvisation. But make no mistake- THIS BAND ROCKS! Their incessant touring and high-energy performances demonstrate the deep love, respect, and enthusiasm the members have for what they do.
Today, festival organizers Pigeons Playing Ping Pong announced the final list of bands set to play their eighth annual music festival Domefest on May 18-20, 2017 at Fort Royale Farm in Bedford, PA.

The live album includes all original songs except their rousing rendition of Ray Parker Jr.’s “Ghostbusters” theme song.
Electro-funk act Pigeons Playing Ping Pong just released a single off their upcoming live album, “The Great Outdoors Jam.” Our first taste of the rising band’s first official live release is “Poseidon,” an uplifting oceanic odyssey featuring a smooth saxophone sit-in by Chris Sgammato of Displace.
