Pigeon Breeders & Ghost Cars album release – Calgary

Pigeon Breeders & Ghost Cars / Jung People collaborative show
November 5th
90 min set
ALL AGES
50 seats
Experience the individual and collective expression of two celebrated Albertan experimental rock acts, Calgary’s Jung People and Edmonton’s Pigeon Breeders & Ghost Cars. The two bands will be presenting a special 90 minute* sonic experience, with Pigeon Breeders & Ghost Cars opening and closing the performance, and Jung People performing in the middle, and the two acts crossing over on both sides.
*Approximate time.

Calgary’s Jung People and Edmonton’s Pigeon Breeders have been artistic partners for over a decade. Since 2012, the two acts have been performing on bills together and this kinship was cemented by the development of “crossover” sets where the two bands would collaborate during the transition between each of their sets. The two bands went on a mini-tour to promote Jung People’s third album, Gold Bristle, which included a lush wintry performance at Calgary’s Lantern Church.

This show will be 90 minutes approximately.
Doors at 8:00 PM^
Performance begins at 9:00 PM^
$20 advance tickets available in-person at The Next Page book store
1217A 9 Avenue SE, Calgary
Limited capacity — [50] tickets available only.
There will be coffee & non-alcoholic beverages available.
The Next Page will be open to shop before and after the show!
