Fri 19th Dec 19:30 THE PIGEON DETECTIVES - SOLD OUT

The Rockhouse is please to announce THE PIGEON DETECTIVES as the official venue opening act!

The Pigeon Detectives
They play an exciting blend of rock'n'roll born out of a love for classic rock music and the indie rock of the 1990s packed with rabid energy that fuels their million-miles-an-hour live shows. Perfect fodder for indie fans who like to jump up and down as if it's 1995. They supported Dirty Pretty Things whilst they toured in spring 2006. In early November 2006 they supported fellow West Yorkshire band Kaiser Chiefs, who are known to be fans of the band, on a number of occasions around Europe. On 8 July 2007, they played on the Radio 1 NME Stage in front of thousands at T in the Park.

Their songs perfectly encapsulate what it feels like to be a 20 something whose world revolves almost solely around attractive members of the opposite sex and getting drunk as they have without living exactly that sort of life 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Songs like ridiculously infectious first proper single ‘I Found Out’. Or the first-of-what-will-surely-be-many Top 20 hits ‘Romantic Type’. Or, in fact, any of the 12 wall-to-wall bellow-along classics that make up their debut album ‘Wait For Me’. The Pigeon Detectives rely on pure, unadulterated passion rather than any pretensions towards any kind of innovation. They are gloriously straightforward and natural in every respect, bringing up to date a classic British rock’n’roll tradition: one that stretches back (and beyond) to the earliest days of their beloved Fabs, one that takes in the adolescent thrills of the Buzzcocks and The Undertones along the way.
