Six Finger Satellite

The Pigeon Is the Most Popular Bird

£34.99

Released: 30th June 2023. Formed in 1990 in Providence, Rhode Island by J. Ryan (singer/keyboards), John MacLean (guitar), Peter Phillips (guitar), Chris Dixon (bass), and Rick Pelletier (drums), Six Finger Satellite quickly signed to Sub Pop for the 'Weapon' EP, which got them their deal despite being a tongue-in-cheek take on the then-current grunge/alt-rock sound. Following 'Weapon', the band quickly jumped into making their debut full-length with Bob Weston (of Shellac). Released in 1993, 'The Pigeon Is the Most Popular Bird' was the first release to truly capture the adventurous, biting spirit and sound of Six Finger Satellite. The album is a landmark of noisy, distressing post-punk, drawing influence from Gang of Four, The Birthday Party, and Wire while adding a healthy dose of the band's own, unique sonic antagonism.
