    Update from Camp Pigeon

    It’s been a while since I last posted a blog, just over a month. I wanted to wait until we had something proper to share, well I think we do now.

    ✨A little emotional update from Camp Pigeon✨

    Today is a milestone day for us, its exactly one month ago since our album & short horror story was released. This album and accompanying short story have literally surpassed any and all expectations we had for them and I would like to share how the album has done one month on with you. I want to emphatically state this is not us showing off at all but appreciating everything YOU have allowed us to achieve. If this wasn’t for all of YOU and this beautiful community none of this would have been possible and we are eternally grateful for your time in listening and reading.

    Thank you to everyone that believed in us and backed our Kickstarter campaign, but unfortunately the funding was unsuccessful.

    If you did back us (we have a list of names on Kickstarter) please get in touch with us as we would like to send you a free CD and keyring to just say thank you.

    Now, where one door closes another opens, we have secured funding for 25 digipak CDs and they are currently being printed. Hopefully in the next few weeks some of those CDs will be available to buy and stocked in independent record shops in Bristol.

    Lastly, we are excited to share we are in the process of writing new music!!

    Thank you for accepting us, being so kind, and coming with us on this incredible journey.

    Love

    Death Pigeon
    (JD and Neil)

  • Kickstarter campaign

    Kickstarter campaign

    Along with our debut album being released on the 10th February 2023, we are also launching a Kickstarter campaign on the same day. Our Kickstarter campaign goes live this Friday on the 10th February 2023 until the 10th March 2023. Should the campaign be successful we are hoping to put out a physical album to all our backers first and then into local music shops in and around Bristol. If you can’t support we totally understand as the cost of living crisis continues to bite hard, but would you please mind sharing the campaign so we may reach as many people as possible.

    Thank you for anything you can do to help us.

    6. The end of the beginning

    New single out now!!

    The next single off our album is now out on all platforms!

    You can listen below on Bandcamp or YouTube Music below

    Listen for free on YouTube Music ‘The end of the beginning’ – Opens new window

    You can read more about the track here:

    The single The end of the beginning is chapter 5 from the short story which also comes out with the album in a few weeks time and will be available on Band Camp & Amazon, here is an excerpt from that chapter:

    WARNING – This excerpt from chapter 5 contains imagery that some people might find disturbing.

    I had managed to hide myself between some large barrels of whiskey for a few days after the main event. Well, I thought the barrels contained Whiskey anyway. I opened the tap on the front, hoping for a small drink, and all that came out was thick, sloppy, congealed blood.

    I can hear people shouting – one sounds like the specimen, and the other is most certainly the doctor. I walk with haste towards the shouting and hide in the shadows, ready to observe.
    “GET BACK!” shouted the doctor

    “I AM GOING TO RIP YOU LIMB FROM LIMB FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME” shouted the specimen.
    “GET BACK NOW I TELL YOU!!!” exclaimed the doctor. “WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO???? KILL ME?!?!?! YOU CANNOT KILL ME!!!!” shouted the specimen. “Your body has taken to these augmentations much faster than possible” said the doctor, his voice filled with confusion and admiration.

    “Hahaha, now you’re fucked then” laughed the specimen.
    The doctor ran. The specimen chased after him, grabbed him and dragged him back to the lab by his hair.

    The specimen starts to glue the doctor to the gurney. “Let’s see, what shall I turn you into?” considered the specimen…………

  • A big THANK YOU!!

    A big THANK YOU!!

    Releasing music in 2022 is hard and usually being found on music streaming sites is very difficult.

    I can’t confirm proper numbers yet as they can take up to two months to come in, but the release day of our single was very good for a band like us considering we have never played any live gigs ….. yet 😉

    Thank you to everyone that has purchased band merchandise from this website, we really appreciate it!!!

    There will be much more to come, and of course a full album release in the next few weeks, a brief update on that below.

    Most tracks now have full vocals and Neil is mixing and mastering them like a little demon, a massive thank you to him!!!
    Album artwork is confirmed
    The short story is 100% complete, with artwork, chapters relating to the music titles and will be available on Bandcamp and Amazon on the day the album is released.

    We are hoping to release it in the next few weeks.

    If you havent heard the single and would like too, you can find it below without leaving the site 🙂

    Speak soon
