BISS List 03.02.22: Pigeons Playing Ping Pong + Best of this Week
Happy Hump Day BISS Listers!
If last weekend was any indication of what’s to come, we are all in luck! That two-night double feature last Friday & Saturday nights of ALO and Eric McFadden’s Rockus Caucus were nothing short of epic.
Thank you to all of you on the BISS List crew who joined us for BISS comedy night at Cobb’s on Sunday. I know I speak for the entire group of 20 of us when I say it felt really good to laugh like that for a couple of hours. The next BISS Comedy night will be on April 24th featuring Rachel Pinson. #markyourcalendar
FEATURED SHOW SPOTLIGHT
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong
March 13th @ The UC Theatre Berkeley
Hailed as “musical explorers” by Rolling Stone, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong first took flight roughly a decade ago at the University of Maryland, and the psych-funk trailblazers have since gone on to play more than a thousand shows across 44 states. In just the past two years alone, the band has co-billed at Red Rocks, played halftime at Madison Square Garden, performed on Adult Swim’s FishCenter Live, celebrated the tenth anniversary of their beloved music festival, Domefest, and even earned their first headlining arena show. The Baltimore quartet’s latest album, ‘Presto,’ is their most sophisticated and joyful collection to date, drawing on everything from funk to rock to electronic music as it builds off the group’s unparalleled live energy and hits new heights of emotional and technical maturity. At a time when America seems to grow more divided by the day, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong still believes in the power of music to bring people together, and ‘Presto’ is a big, bold album all about celebrating the present and sharing it with the ones we love most.
