Pigeon John Australian Tour May 20, 2011

Other Tongues is proud to announce that Pigeon John is set to grace our shores to promote his heavily lauded sophomore release, 'Dragon Slayer' - a Triple J Feature Album, and one that just keeps winning people over.

Pigeon John hails from Southern California. Inglewood, to be exact. It’s easy to assume his signature blend of wit, charisma and undeniable stage presence is a fortunate gift (and it is). But let’s be real. Everyone starts somewhere. PJ cut his teeth in the early ‘90s at the legendary Good Life Cafe, spitting rhymes on the same stage with then fledgling, now established artists like Freestyle Fellowship, Kurupt, The Pharcyde and Jurassic 5 on open-mic nights, honing his delivery skills amongst discerning peers.

Enamoured by PJ’s infectious energy and raw talent, Lyrics Born brought PJ into the Quannum fold in 2005. His Quannum Projects debut was the album ‘Pigeon John And The Summertime Pool Party’.

‘Dragon Slayer’ is PJ’s second album for Quannum, and first on Other Tongues. It’s as energetic and witty as any previous Pigeon John release but, way more than ever before, this is his album. With the aid of General Electriks’ Herve Salters, he produced the whole record, including, for the first time, recording and chopping up his own instrumentation rather than just flipping samples and banging on an MPC.

Pigeon John's dynamic live show will be hitting Australia in May.
