Interview with Olivia from Wiretapmusic.com!!!! (Part I)

Olivia's Vlog
"The Second One - Music of Pidgeon"(Documentary... Old Skool, filmed from 2005?
"Can I get a 'hallelujah mother fucker' ??"
Sounds Like:
Pidgeon: from gutter w/love
Sounds Like: The Strokes beating up on the Cardigans.
See Also: The Pixies, Motorhead (if they sucked).
Isn't it a bit much to have three lead singers for one band? Maybe not, but it's a terrible setup if they (along the rest of the band) all suck. Beyond the two male guitarists' deplorable screaming and the female guitarist's weak vocals are the overall pathetic playing skills of this San Francisco-based band.
With tracks like "War Pickle" and "Nationalism Moves West," Pidgeon (yeah, apparently they can't spell, either) makes a futile effort to sound as if they have a substantial message and thus a purpose to exist as a band. Unfortunately, Pidgeon lacks the capability to draw or keep a real fan base. In fact, I highly doubt they could pack a small bar. They probably couldn't pack a public bathroom stall.
Pidgeon should remain in the gutter and out of the recording studio.
