Artist History The aim of Pigeonhole is to explore a multitude of influences and styles creating a versatile yet focused original sound. Pigeonhole recognizes that the song is where everything starts. Strong compositions combined with unique sound experiments and passionate performance is generally what this group is all about. The band has evolved over the last three years and has recorded an album to represent this evolution. The result, "Channels," is a collection of songs that represent the cream of the crop from this developmental stage. The enhanced CD is available at several retail outlets in North Florida and through the Internet. "Drown," the album's first single, is being played on Planet Radio 93.3 FM in Jacksonville and is included on the station's Native Noise 2 compilation CD. In November of 2000, Pigeonhole put out their second album "The Magnetic Kitchen", a collection of instrumental improvisations that are fun to vibe out to. Ranging from electrified rock to hints of world music and surreal noises, Pigeonhole seeks to free itself from ultra-specific perceptions of what they are about, while carving out a unique niche for themselves along the way.Pigeonhole consists of Jay Peele on vocals, guitars, and electronic devices; Paul Lapinski on bass; Danny Stimpson on drums and percussion; Billy Joyner on guitars and vocals; and Thomas Gapinski on synthesizers and vocals. Pigeonhole live performances include something for everyone. These musicians are committed to writing timeless music and ear-catching lyrics and are ready to work with a larger record label or distribution company. Please consider working with Pigeonhole and Grain of Salt Records to help this band sell millions of albums throughout the next few decades.Pigeonhole . PO Box 17504 . Jacksonville, FL 32245 .
