PR-002: LIVE IN THE E.R. (smoke and mirrors)

PR-002 will be out VERY soon, probably within the next 10-12 days. It is a cassette tape entitled "Live In The E.R." with audio from our live set on 2/19/09. It is 18 minutes long. There are 100 copies made, 50 of which we will be selling (for $3 or $4, not sure yet) and 50 of which you can purchase through Smoke And Mirrors (for $5) website/myspace/email. When they are gone, they are gone. The artwork, layout and packaging for this tape is incredible and if you dont like our music, those things are reason alone to drop a few bucks. Here is a preview:

finally, we have a lot of shows coming up. the "upcoming/past shows" page is updated daily, as well as our my space thing. you can find flyers in our images on the my space.

Pijin Rilijin news as of Monday, March 9th

Pijin Rilijin is in the stuudio right now recoording and I would like to foormaally say that this will blow the minds off eeveryone. Druug rock at its fiinest, this record will challenge everything you know about how songs are suppose to be written and how music should be listened to. Pending a few things, we may release it ourselves or shop for a label (which won't be hard). Also, we have a Live tape coming out soon (Live at the E.R.) that will be awesome as well. That will be out before the 7"/LP (not sure which its going to be yet). Come see us at the Mae Shi. I doubt it, but we might have the tapes at that show. Probalby not though. Regardless, I promise it will really be the best pijins show to date. Start bugging your dealer now because you're guaranteed to have a religious experience. You heard me right, punk... guar-an-teed.

Live In The E.R. Preview

preview track. 17 minutes (our shortest live set to date, actually) cut into an impressive 2:30.

more details coming soon.

LPs

If you got an LP with a record that doesn't have recognizable Pigeon Religion songs on it, I am sorry. However, we did not STEAL your fucking money. Jesus, I guess I have to spell everything out to everyone. You guys are just mad because I told you you'd be mad, and you guys love to do exactly what I tell you to do without even knowing it (ie:

"Trust me, this album will piss you off." - Me, 1/13/09

So, we actually DID record (and we will be recording again soon), and we actually ARE going to release a record. If you look in the record you bought, there is a 6 digit code. No, I did not retroactively go back in time when I realized we "actually pissed people off" and put these inside. You WILL get your moneys worth if you email that code to pigeonreligion@gmail.com with your full name and address. The code is Case sensitive and can only be used once, so don't give it to a friend. If you bought one online and live out of town/state/country, you wont have to pay for shipping again.

In other news, we are playing a few upcoming shows and are in the beginning stages of planning a tour. We will have some new merch in the near futures (a couple basic things like shirts, patches, stickers, etc and a couple other weirder things that will be cool), so keep an eye out. We will hopefully be recording a Live set at the ER this thursday as well so go to that show if you want to hear yourself heckling us between songs. Thank you for reading, now get back to your own dick sucking bands.

Our new LP

thanks to everyone who came out to see us with Fucked Up. special thanks if you were there in time to catch us. super special thanks if you bought an LP. Show was good. I think I might have gang green of the finger after cutting it open on one of the cymbals. Also, I'm not sure what happened to our guitarist, who disappeared after the show, leaving half of his equipment. Regardless, it went well. I made enough money to ALMOST pay off the drum set I just bought (and used for the first time last night). Actually, that was the first show we used 90% of our own gear. Movin' up.

If you bought an LP, there was a 6 digit, case sensitive, code inside (along with the poster you have tacked to your wall). Email it to pigeonreligion@gmail.com along with a review of what you thought of the LP as a whole (music, art, packaging, customer service, ect). This is for a press kit we are putting together. thanks again.

see you soon.

(p.s. No, it isn't a Nazi swastika. It is a Hindu symbol of peace. As a non-religious, yet spiritual band, we like to pay tribute to our influences.) Read more ...

Why Do You Hate Pigeon Religion?

You may or may not have heard the rumors...
We've tried to keep it secret, but we're not very good at secrets...
So here you have it, the rumors are true...

Pigeon Religion is excited to announce that we will be coming out with our first official release entitled "Why Do You Hate Pigeon Religion?" or simply, the "Why Do You Hate..." LP. Yes, it will be in LP format. Why an LP for our first release? Our current material couldn't fit on a 7", and we didnt want to drastically change our artistic vision just to make it fit a specific type of media. We actually did have to cut out a couple things to get it to fit on the LP. Call it an EP, call it a Full Length... we're not even quite sure. When we recorded (a few months ago), we played all the material straight through and didn't really differentiate between songs, so I cant actually tell you how many songs are on the album... but its pretty long and rockin'.

We got the test presses in a couple months ago, ok'd them, sent out the artwork, and now were waiting for the final product. Hopefully we'll have them for Iron Lung. They are pretty limited, but there's enough for the few of you that might be interested. As we're not looking to make any money off them (just pay the label back what they put into it), they'll probably be around the $5 range. We're actually not supposed to announce it until we have the records in our hands, but it's not really a secret anymore. Also, we might start taking pre-orders if we get them before Iron Lung as this LP is out of 50.

Here's some pictures of the test presses... I'll post the actual artwork once we receive the album and start taking pre-orders. Also, it will come with an 11 x 17 insert poster. Trust me, this album will piss you off.

also, we'll hopefully have some more shirts at Iron Lung and a couple new songs for Fucked Up. Read more ...
