Bio

[p][b]Virgins O.R Pigeons[/b] are a trio from Greece, comprising of Pierrot, Steph and Sitras. The three of them , who had a number of collaborations in various music projects in the past, decided to form a band together and combine their quite versatile backgrounds. In 2002, they started experimenting with digital and analogue sounds, and united their passion for technology and fired up guitars, hense creating a hybrid of electronic music with a dark twist, with songs ranging from frenzic aggressive EBM to more down tempo yet still powerful anthems with hypnotic and often haunting melodies.[/p][p]They believe in having a strong and eye-catching stage presence to compliment their music and, drawing elements from Visual Kei, they adjust it to fit their own identity and perception of "performance" and "image" in general.[/p][p]Starting in Greece, a country with a limited number of bands in the greater genre of industrial and electro, they immediately stood out from the crowd with their first ever live performance, which was on 30th October 2006 at Club Underworld,Athens with Japanese band Blood. They headlined their first gig soon after , at the 8ball club in Thessaloniki, which prooved out a huge success.[/p][p]The band was discovered by Japanese independent label Cure and on 28th March 2007 their debut album, , titled "Place No Reliance" was released. As summarised by the band itself, this album is "...A Manifesto for the masses, a sinister antidote for your spiritual decadence... ". And indeed it is. Just listen.[/p][p][b]Virgins O.R Pigeons[/b] are currently working with Blood on a number of remixes, which will be featured in near future releases. The band will be making their first international appearence in Helsinki, Finland followed by Stockholm, Sweden in August 2007.[/p][p]Stay alert and watch out for more.[/p]
