Pigboat

Bio:

Pigboat play loud rock. Their brand of hard-hitting drums, big tube amps, heavy riffs, catchy chord progressions, and feedback started in 2002 after the demise of Portland band Broken Clown. Mark and Ed used to play in that band and after the break up, Mark started playing with Chad, a Portland regular that has played with such bands as The Gas, Slint, The Sarcastic Liar, and Colepitz. New music was written.

Fate stepped in when Eggbot asked both Mark and Ed to both be part of his cavalcade of stars show at Free Street Tavern in Portland. The show went off greatly and Ed started playing with Mark on a regular basis again. Their first EP was released by the Entertainment Experiment in June 2006. Chad had to leave the band in July, and new drummer Brian has just recently been hired to solidify the lineup.

Pigboat's musical influences are pretty obvious once you hear them, mixing the heavy riffs of Kyuss, The Melvins, and Black Sabbath with the attitude of Nirvana, Sonic Youth, and Fugazi. Pigboat are out the show the world that good music doesn't have to be pretty. It just has to be good.

Music. So much music. We know what WE like. You know what YOU like. If you CLICK on something OVER THERE you can hear what we SOUND like. If you click DOWN THERE you can check out what our FRIENDS SOUND LIKE. If what we SOUND like, and what they SOUND like sound SIMILAR to what YOU like, then odds are that WE LIKE THE SAME KINDS OF THINGS. Once upon a time, we did a New Year's Show with our friends (and relative)Confusatron. Here is their interpretation of one of our songsWHICH WE LIKED!

Sounds Like:

The Cure and Sonic Youth being assaulted by the Melvins, Kyuss, and Black Sabbath

Chicken Little Vs. Snidley Whiplash
