Pigeon John
Bodes
last Australian Tour (I'm from Perth), and in my opinion dominated the
show. I bought a CD of his at the show, and its dope as. All about
trying to make it and never getting a recorde deal etc, but awesome
style.

It all started in the early 90's at the Good Life, home of the West
Coast underground hip hop scene. The boot camp for artists like
Freestyle Fellowship, Kurupt, The Pharcyde, and Black Eyed Peas. Every
Thursday night, a young cat by the name of Pigeon John would come out
form the quiet streets of Hawthorne, CA to showcase his songs and
skills. For the next several years, he grew and learned how to truly
rock any crowd, whether it be hip hop or punk rock, he would adapt and
relate to them with honesty. He was booed, he was praised and he was
honed to become one of the most prolific MCs of his time.
In the recent years, he's been a part of the groups, Brainwash Projects
and L.A. Symphony, whose albums, "The Rise and Fall of..." and
"Composition # 1", have been named classic by the underground. He's
been featured on many compilations and has been shone brightly on
countless guest appearances. Pigeon John has also toured the U.S. eight
times over, as a soloist and with L.A. Symphony. He continued to make
moves with LAS by becoming a featured artist on the Yahoo.com/NBA
summer tour, appearing in a two page Levi's adds in Spin magazine, and
scoring a featured song in the movie "Get Over It", starring Kristen
Dunst and Sisqo. Along with 6 LAS songs, Pigeon John's song, "Identity
Crisis" can be heard on the XBOX games, "Project Gotham" and "NBA
Inside Drive 2002". His independent debut album, "Pigeon John is
Clueless" has sold over 11,000 copies out the trunk so far.
Now, in 2003, the future is here! PJ's 2nd solo album, "Pigeon John is
Dating Your Sister" is making it's way to stores nationwide. In this
project, he blends melody with rhythm, heartbreak with hip hop, and
washes away stereotypes. His songs tie the ear down and enrapture the
audience from start to finish. With influences from De La Soul to the
Beatles, Pigeon John opens up a brand new sound that will relate to
all. His lyrics come from the heart, his beats come from the crates as
he connects with backpackers, cheerleaders, and punk rockers alike,
with ease. His shows are stripped down and legendary, melding energy
and humor- he is uncut, raw, and hilariously honest. He is defining his
generation and is making music that is present, now, and destined to
become the soundtrack to many lives. He is spearheading a new
genre...stay tuned!

Is that the "sings the blues" album? Apparently, he's got a new one
out this year.
