More shit to report about the Pigeons, this story will never die…
Apparently this is getting global attention, which hmm could be perfect timing if the Kings of Leon are due to release an lp soon. Cool huh, great timing.
Now riding on the trail of this fun is so many people with so much to say its kinda ridiculous but I’m gonna jump on the bandwagon just the same
According to a St. Louis paper, Sugarland played Verizon July 25 without incident, although the band members did look up and pointed to the rafters at one point “but there were no bird sightings.”
The paper also mentioned the time when Cyndi Lauper got a bird dropping in her mouth at a 2004 Massachusetts concert but continued performing Who’d know?
But wait the venue does have an ongoing issues with birds and actually advised the band.
The venue exec stated that after KOL voiced concern about going onstage, they were urged to move a couple of feet to the left or right to avoid the droppings but the band said no.
Their reason?
“Because of how the bands stage is built, you couldn’t move Jared over. There’s too many things – like metal grids and pyro. He had to just stand there.”
Should have just gotten the d-bag an umbrella then, no?
First opener The Stills don’t want to be left out, they provide some pretty funny read. Oliver Crowe of seems like a real mans man;
“The venue fucked up big time,” he said.“At the Amphitheater in Chicago, they take high-powered hoses”, he said. “Other venues call in a hawk guy to chase them away. If you run a venue and there’s that much money at stake, you should really do that – it’s not expensive.”
Seriously? Did he get a quote? That’s almost my favorite line ..wait there’s more
Crowe stated “felt something like an air conditioner drop, or like little droplets of water spray on my face.” “About two to three songs later, I bent over to do, like, a shoegazer move, and I felt something very substantial on the back of my head and down my back and for the rest of the show I was extremely paranoid and constantly looking up.”
WHAT THE HELL? ‘SHOEGAZER MOVE’….by far the win statement of this post.
Second openers The Postelles trying to cash in on the crap stated
“Amongst other things, a bird fell from the rafters and died while our drummer was setting up (services to be held next week),” the statement said. “Very fine clothing was ruined throughout the entire night … and our equipment was completely covered with … well, you get the point.”
I have been at numerous outdoor events.
Now suddenly I just want to go to St Louis Verizon Amphitheater in a raincoat to watch.
Karma baby..karma
