With a dedicated fan base known as “The Flock,” it’s not surprising that Maryland four-piece Pigeons Playing Ping Pong is known for its high-energy psychedelic funk shows. The band’s seventh album, Day In Time, is a reminder of how quickly time moves, acting both as a culmination of the band’s 15 years together since forming in college and a snapshot of where it stands today. Ray Chelstowski of Goldmine Magazine says of PPPP’s newest release, “The music is absent of gimmicks and one-offs, but instead arrives well-thought out and defined by a sense of musical maturity that can only arrive after many years of performing together in every type of venue imaginable.” Accordingly, the band describes it as its most cohesive work yet. The show will be opened by Athens multi-genre outfit Underground Springhouse, which combines reggae, country and funk with a rock and roll foundation.
