It’s important to read the room, read the crowd and let the energy flow the way it’s supposed to. GO: I think we’re really good at adapting to each setting. Does the band feel limited by smaller venues, or do you guys just hope the space can handle what you’re putting out? The Montana stops – at the Top Hat and Rialto – fall somewhere in the middle. RZ: You’ve had a few unrelenting years, playing some of the biggest stages and festivals to rooms of the more intimate variety. We’re also touring with our friends Goose which really makes it like a two-bird, feathered friends tour. We’re playing a bunch of material off the album, and we’ve also been working on a ton of new material since so hopefully it’ll mark a couple tour debuts down the line. Greg Ormont: This is our first tour supporting Presto. Based on these first few dates, can you forecast how you think this outing will be remembered in the Pigeons legacy? Rolling Zone: Pigeons just kicked off its winter tour, coming off of two sold-out shows at the Troubadour in West Hollywood. In anticipation of their local performances, the Rolling Zone spoke with frontman “Scrambled Greg” Ormont about the new album and potency of positivity. This animated quartet has been scorching up stages across the country with their explosive performances and danceable peaks. Their infectious electro-funk grooves, undeniable live energy and contagious smiles have their rabid fanbase (“The Flock”) growing exponentially. The Baltimore-based ensemble brings end-of-the-world enthusiasm to their high-energy psychedelic shows. The stops coincide with the recent release of their new album, Presto. Joyous Baltimore jammers bring Presto tour to Treasure Stateīig Sky Country is set to welcome the return of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong for a pair of Montana shows as part of their winter tour.
