Live shows
Pigeon Religion live shows were notorious for their uncomfortable atmosphere, characterized by violence and excessively loud volume. Pigeon Religion were rarely able finish a full set without being shut down by police or angry show promoters. In their first year of existence, they performed over 100 live shows and were cited by the Arizona Republic as "The Hardest Working Band in Phoenix", as well as having numerous write-ups in the Phoenix New Times that mentioned their blitzkrieg promotional tactics. To perform live, they enlisted the help of various notable Phoenix musicians. Their most recent list of live contributors was Drek Campbell (Filthy Grin), James Fella (Gilgongo Records, Soft Shoulder), Anthony Doran, Preston Bryant (My Feral Kin, French Quarter), Stuben Steinberg (French Quarter), Vincent S. Baeza, N.Nappa, Anna Nasty (Hell-Kite).
