It's not surprising that a band on Sub Pop's roster looked to the '70s for musical inspiration, but instead of the one-two
Stooges/
Sabbath punch of
Soundgarden and
Nirvana, the recordings of
Pigeonhed look to Sly Stone,
Al Green and
Prince. The project is the result of a collaboration between two of Seattle's more credified figures:
Steve Fisk, a member of Pell-Mell and one of the area's best producers (
Nirvana,
Beat Happening,
Soundgarden,
Unwound,
Screaming Trees); plus
Shawn Smith, the vocalist for
Brad and
Satchel. With a large roster of vintage keyboards,
Pigeonhed debuted in 1993 with a self-titled album. Four years later, the pair reunited for
The Full Sentence. The remix album Flash Bulb Emergency Overflow Cavalcade also featured some respected names, like
Lo Fidelity Allstars,
Technical Itch and
Red Snapper. The duo also featured on a track from Lo Fidelity Allstars' debut album,
How to Operate with a Blown Mind. ~ John Bush
