Pigeon John is currently on tour with DJ Shadow across America. We asked theMC to check in periodicaly with URB. This post comes from PJ cohort Evy Jane.

Is it wrong that erica and i feel like the canadian border guards are way more attractive and pleasant than the american ones?  i dunno, let’s discuss.

At some point in time on the 12th we passed through the border into canada after having left pigeon johnny at a US hotel with a toothbrush, ipod, and skateboard.  bureaucracy — ya know.

Erica and I were going to have to open for DJ Shadow without Pigeon John…  OH MY GAWD.  !!1!!1

Hear Two New DJ Shadow Tracks Live

DJ Shadow has been slowly rolling out new music as part of his Shadowsphere tour. He debut two new cuts at Brooklyn Bowl this week, including what sounds to be an AC/DC sampling banger being called “I Gotta Rock,” (previously captured with worse audio quality) as well as a far more mellow untitled piece featuring some gentle piano and light vocal scratching. Add to these the track “Redeemed” played live over the summer, and the “Def Surrounds Us/I’ve Been Trying” single that was issued last month, and the vision of a full Shadow album, his third since his legendary Endtroducing debut, is starting to take shape. …MORE

DJ Shadow Live 10/31/10 @ HOB Sunset (Review)

Endtroducing...on Halloween 

This Halloween I didn’t go trick or treating nor did I costume up, I didn’t even give candy to children—instead, I went to check out one of my favorite DJ’s, the legendary DJ Shadow at the House of Blues on Sunset.  Always skeptical when seeing DJs perform live as their ‘stage performance’ is never truly eventful, I embarked into this show with high hopes of creativity, originality, and entertainment. To my surprise (not really), Shadow delivered on all fronts with his inventive Shadowsphere apparatus and outstanding and thought-provoking visual accompaniment courtesy of longtime VJ collaborator, Ben Stokes.  DJ Shadow, who introduced himself by walking out on stage waving to his fans following an energetic and headnodding performance by Quannum homie Pigeon John (pictures …
