The way that the band can infect the audience with energy and fun is one of the reasons they continue to grow their fan base. The good time guaranteed when seeing Pigeons is clearly obvious, whether on a festival lineup or a headlining show, by the masses that continue to show up.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Selling out two nights at 9:30 Club is just one notch on the fellas brag-worthy belt. Almost a hometown show for the Baltimore boys, it was easy to see there were many a friend and family member in the audience. Fans of the band travel long distances to see them perform and you could hear fans catching up on their adventures since they last saw one another since the sell-out New Year&#8217;s Eve run at the&nbsp;<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Stage AE&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">in Pittsburgh, PA. Showing love for the venue and everyone there, lead singer&nbsp;<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Greg Ormont<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;was vocal about how happy they were, and always are, to be back in the District.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Pigeons Playing Ping Pong perform under a spectacular light show at the 9:30 Club\" data-id=\"122645\" width=\"228\" data-init-width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" data-init-height=\"819\" title=\"Pigeons Playing Ping Pong perform under a spectacular light show at the 9:30 Club\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/JHR61989.jpg\" data-width=\"228\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The light show at the 9:30 Club was beyond hypnotizing throughout the weekend. The synchronicity as well as the diversity of patterns and colors made it worth the price of admission alone &#8211; come for the music and be entranced by the light show. The band&#8217;s incredible jams never fail to take you on a journey that you don&#8217;t want to end. A perfect example of doing just that was with the version of &#8220;Donkey Hotel&#8221; during the second set that continued on long enough to forget where we started.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Pigeons Playing Ping Pong perform under a spectacular light show at the 9:30 Club\" data-id=\"122645\" width=\"570\" data-init-width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" data-init-height=\"819\" title=\"Pigeons Playing Ping Pong perform under a spectacular light show at the 9:30 Club\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/JHR61989.jpg\" data-width=\"570\"><\/span><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Jeremy Schon in the spotlight\" data-id=\"122644\" width=\"207\" data-init-width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-init-height=\"1024\" title=\"Jeremy Schon in the spotlight\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/JHR60737.jpg\" data-width=\"207\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">One of the most memorable moments of the show was the spotlight solo of guitar player&nbsp;<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Jeremy Schon<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;as an intro to &#8220;Horizon,&#8221; a clear crowd favorite. A single light illuminated an almost romantic solo that seemed to entrance the entire venue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Let us not forget that each member of this foursome are masters of their craft and are each a world-class musician and performer. While Schon and Ormont were in the spotlight, you know that&nbsp;<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Alex &#8220;Gator&#8221; Petropulos<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;was crushing the drumkit, and&nbsp;<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ben Carrey<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;was working the shadows and jumping on his bass amp or jumping on the drum riser.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Jeremy Schon in the spotlight\" data-id=\"122644\" width=\"679\" data-init-width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-init-height=\"1024\" title=\"Jeremy Schon in the spotlight\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/JHR60737.jpg\" data-width=\"679\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Every time any fan gets to experience being a part of &#8220;The Flock&#8221; they always seem to have more fun than the time &#8211; DC Music Review staff included. This is why we all will continue to show these guys love and support when they are out on tour or appear on a festival lineup. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Pigeons Playing Ping Pong in full flight at the 9:30 Club\" data-id=\"122648\" width=\"828\" data-init-width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-init-height=\"683\" title=\"Pigeons Playing Ping Pong in full flight at the 9:30 Club\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/JHR61775.jpg\" data-width=\"828\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After an exhilarating two nights at the 9:30 Club, the band will take a brief rest before embarking on the rest of their Winter Tour, starting in Aspen, Colorado, on March 15th and heading back East to conquer the East Coast of America.
