   About War Pigeon
War Pigeon has dropped “the bomb” on music fans everywhere with their sophomore album; “Glacier.” Diverging slightly from the more Soul/Rock feel of their debut CD, “Glacier” takes its listeners on a fairytale-like musical adventure of Street-Sound, Jazz, and darker Rock, while continuing to pay homage to the creative grooves that helped define their sound. The spirit of “raw musical adventurism” is ever-present on “Glacier”, as the group took the creatively liberating, yet daunting approach of recording, mixing, and engineering the project themselves. The result leaves the listener with an un-distorted image of what its like to spend a week holed up in a cabin in the woods with this band.

War Pigeon came together in Seattle circa 2005 with a purpose: to break down the barriers of traditional music formats and create a stew of musical and life influences void of the sterility found in the majority of today’s music. In the spirit of the great power trios like Cream, The Police and Medeski, Martin, and Wood; War Pigeon emerged on the scene in full force with upbeat and skillful live performances to fans across the northwest.

As 2008 begins, War Pigeon is hot-on-the heels of today’s music scene, smattering a cavalcade of fresh inspiration and timeless music that is destined to earn the attention of music fans worldwide. Before the album even reached the hands of fans and disc jockeys, Seattle’s own Steve Slaton, music director for the popular classic rock station KZOK chose to play the final track on “Glacier” entitled “d.i.a.d.h” live on the air for his listeners on two different installments of his Friday afternoon drive show called “Stump Slaton.”

Hey Friends, it's me, Flowmotion & the Meltdown Festival.

Just wanted to remind everyone, the festival is coming up in about three weeks or so and tickets are about to go up in price on July 23rd. Now is the time to get your tickets. 30+ bands on three stages, camping on 40 acres next to the river and epic views of glacier capped Whitehorse Mountain from the stage. It's about 75 minutes north of Seattle in Darrington WA. This is going to be one of the best years yet, so please tell all your friends and spread the word about the tickets going up next week. Visit the official site by clicking on the graphic below to get all the details.
