w/ dark time sunshine & dj abilities
Pigeon John is returning back to the Loft once again and as always, he will be bringing along his signature blend of wit, charisma and undeniable stage presence. Hailing from Inglewood, CA, Pigeon John began his career in the early 90s at the legendary Good Life Cafe, spitting rhymes on the same stage with artists like Freestyle Fellowship, Kurupt, The Pharcyde and Jurassic 5. Good Life open-mic nights became PJ's ritual. It was the perfect environment to hone his performance and delivery skills amongst discerning peers.
Time at the Good Life gave way to time spent at local venues and in the studio with friends like Brainwash Projects and LA Symphony. His appearances on the underground classics, The Rise and Fall of Brainwash Project and Composition..1 from Brainwash Projects and LA Symphony, respectively, put him on the radar as one to watch.
Touring the nation 8 times over, Pigeon John has earned his veteran status, using a clever balance of self-deprecating humor and confidence to rock any crowd, any stage. His boundless energy seduces crowds making ladies swoon and fellas embrace their geek appeal.
Accompanying Pigeon John will be Dark Time Sunshine which consists of Cape Cowen and Zavala. The duo met a couple of years ago in Portland. Both were interested in Hip Hop, Punk, and Electronics and as a result, the two started to formulate a genre of music some call snob rap, dark pop, and or theatrical lazor blur under the moniker Dark Time Sunshine. After implementing themselves relevant with the free album Believeyoume in 2009, the duo sets sail soon to bring forth their official, debut release of Vessel. Dark Time Sunshine's Vessel is slated for an April 2010.
And being the support on the turntables will be DJ Abilities. With his emcee partner, Eyedea, he forms the group known as Eyedea & Abilities, also known as E&A. He also serves as the DJ for Semi.Official with Minneapolis rapper I Self Divine. DJ Abilities is well known in the Midwest for being one of the best battle DJs in the local scene, having won both the 1999 and 2001 DMC Regional championships. He is also recognized as a talented producer. He and Eyedea are noted, above all, for their ability to interact in live on stage performances, as well as on record. DJ Abilities served for some time as Atmosphere's backup/tour DJ, but has since chosen to work more with the Eyedea-Abilities duo.
