Pigeons Playing Ping Pong is an American funk jam band from Baltimore, Maryland.[1][2] The band has garnered a following as a result of their consistent touring, playing as many as two hundred shows a year.[3]

History

[edit]

Pigeons Playing Ping Pong began in 2009. The band released its first full-length album titled Funk E P in 2010.[4][5] This album name is a play on words says vocalist/guitarist Greg Ormont, and unfortunately the name led people to think this first album was just an EP. In July 2014, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong released its second full-length album titled Psychology.[1][4][6][7][8][9]

Pigeons Playing Ping Pong has hosted the Domefest music festival every year since 2009. The location of the festival has changed periodically but is currently held at Legend ValleyinThornville, Ohio.

In a 2017 interview,[10] Greg Ormont (vocals/guitar) said, "We met in college at the University of Maryland and the dorm project turned into the real thing. We've been playing for over 8 years. We've been touring the country for 4–5 years and just having a blast spreading our high energy psychedelic funk and good vibes. We like to bring the party and show people a diverse time that is positive and fun and everyone leaves a happier person.”

In April of 2022, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong released its 6th studio album, Perspective.[11]

In April of 2024, the band's seventh studio album, Day In Time, was released.[12]
