Went to see Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs tonight at The Mill in Digbeth. Very, very excellent they were. Enjoyed their last two albums and had them in my end of year lists but never really think to put them on. Will do now, liked them a lot. Great show. Very entertaining front man.
Honestly, I didn’t know what they look like and I can’t help being disappointed that it seems one would be far more likely to find them in an organic, pop-up craft beer hut than a satanic biker cult club house sited in a Wolverhampton scrap yard.
When they did a gig in 2016 they were let down with a place to stay so they all came to sleep at mine after the gig when M was about 4 weeks old. They were adorable - they barely made a sound when they came in and left me a tshirt and some money too. Absolutely GBOLs.
Saw them play upstairs at the O’Neill’s in Cardiff in 2019 and it was dead good. The atmosphere was electric and people were climbing everywhere. Great band and yeah I should definitely listen to them more.
Saw them in Bristol the other night, they sounded great. Second time I’ve seen them, first was in the Exchange which is pretty small, they have made a decent step up to bigger venues. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the crowd, they are big on 6 music, indie and hipster radars but there was a definite older proper metalhead contingent there. Sweet Relief is a standout song for me, although surprised Black Sabbath haven’t sued them over it already.
Off to see them on Wednesday. Rescheduled from April last year, I remember they originally rescheduled for November 2020. Commented to the TV that a SEVEN month postponement was literally INSANE…
they were playing here last week and i was tempted but i’ve not listened to them much and i was seeing Kelly Lee Owens the next night so i gave it a miss. maybe next time.
Excellent band, love them. Viscerals was in my top 10 albums last year, proper dirt heavy. Bit gutted I’ve had to cancel my tickets for their London show, but don’t feel safe yet, plus, other stuff going on lifewise.
They were cracking when @rich-t and I saw them at Green Man, ridiculously good fun. A66 is a monster tune.
Yeah, I really like them too. Although I’m not wearing my tee-shirt today. When I listen to them I do go back to Feed the Rats more often than the latter two. Have seen them a few times, most recently (pre Covid) in Reading. Memorable for some absurdly ott stewarding, think back to the occasionally and wonder what they were trying to achieve other than a power trip:
Not sure if its related as I assume the stewards are for the venue not the band, but similar last night. The pit was heavily guarded, and crowdsurfers were forcibly ejected.
Maybe they’re just playing venues not used to heavier bands? Seemed odd either way.
