Pigeon Religion's New Single: A Tape of Me Talking About How Much They Suck
By Martin Cizmars, Monday, Apr. 12 2010 @ 7:43AM
Pigeon Religion has a new "single" up on their MySpace. "Why Do You Hate" is probably the best work the band has ever done, because it's just a snippet of me talking about how terrible they are during my appearance on The Blaze's Guest DJ Week. Actually, I quite prefer it to their last single, "Crystallized Meth."
I ask again: How did these guys get a showcase at SxSW?
You might also enjoy this blowjobby interview with the band from what seems like an intern at Spinner.com.
Also, they're playing at Eastside Records this Saturday for record store day. Please do not go.
some of Cizmars genious statments made in the comments of this post:
No, Anonymous, I have no idea who Eddy Detroit is. I'm pretty confident 99.99% of the people in metro Phoenix don't either. Contrary to popular belief it's not my job to know every obscure musician you and your friends ever had pizza with.
With zero diss taken, no, James, I had no idea who Sun City Girls were.
Obscure Arizona punk bands that were formed before I was born are not my specialty, nor have I ever pretended they are. I know these historical bands are important to a lot of punks/DIY kids in Phoenix, but no one I've ever talked to about this stuff has ever namechecked them. Perhaps in a place with so little musical history people feel the need to cling to whatever they can. SSG, JFA, whatever. That's cool, but I won't be ashamed to not know or care anything about them.
We all know and love plenty of obscure bands no one else in this thread has heard of... That's nothing to brag about or be ashamed of.
my bad, move this to general discussion if you like.
