One of the most talked about up-and-coming bands around, 2022 has been a huge year for the young New Jersey quintet. Consisting of Jimmy Law and Brian Murray on guitars, Sam Lucid on bass, Joe Babick on drums and the Jeremy Kaplan on keys, the exciting group wasted no time showing everyone what all the buzz is about.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DOGSINAPILE1292022ZAKRADICK_IMG-10-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-441910\"\/><figcaption>Dogs in a Pile performing at Empire Live in Albany (12\/9\/22)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Launching into the song \u201cLook Johnny\u201d and seamlessly transitioning into \u201cFrosty\u201d and \u201cFenway\u201d before coming up for air, it was clear the Dogs were determined to make the most of their allotted time.&nbsp; Weaving together a tapestry of colorful sound with an undeniable charisma, Albany fans were then treated to the live debut of \u201cLet U Go.\u201d &nbsp;Rounding out the short, but impressive set was \u201cG Song\u201d followed by \u201cBent Strange,\u201d but it wouldn\u2019t be the last time we\u2019d see members of the dog pound on stage this night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DOGSINAPILE1292022ZAKRADICK_IMG-11-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-441911\"\/><figcaption>The dogs were back in town on 12\/9\/22<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a brief break in the action, it was finally time for the long-awaited return of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong who had not played in Albany since March of 2019. &nbsp;Now celebrating 15 years as a band and touring in support of their sixth independent full-length album <em>Perspective<\/em>, some longtime fans could be heard reminiscing about seeing their first P4 show at the significantly smaller Red Square (now the Public Parish House) just down the block back in 2012. One of the most fan-friendly and hardest working bands going, their continued growth and popularity should come as a surprise to no one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/PIGEONS1292022ZAKRADICK_IMG-9-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-441887\"\/><figcaption>Pigeons Playing Ping Pong performing at Empire Live in Albany (12\/9\/22)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking the stage and genuinely thanking everyone for coming out before even playing a single note, front man &#8216;Scrambled&#8217; Greg Ormont was all smiles while giving his customary pre-show p-p-p-pep talk. Reassuring everyone that they were in for some serious fun, the party on North Pearl Street kicked off with \u201cPorcupine\u201d from the band\u2019s 2017 album <em>Pizazz<\/em>. All warmed up and feeling good, things fell into place nicely when \u201cFall In Place\u201d landed on a surprise Beatles cover of \u201cWhile My Guitar Gently Weeps\u201d that boasted an absolutely gorgeous guitar solo from ax-man Jeremy Schon and a lengthy \u201cBabe I\u2019m Gonna Leave You\u201d (Led Zeppelin) tease for good measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/PIGEONS1292022ZAKRADICK_IMG-52-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-441926\"\/><figcaption>Jeremy Schon of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong performing at Empire Live in Albany (12\/9\/22)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now calling on a little help from their friends, it was at this point the band invited \u201cthe other Jeremy\u201d out, welcoming Dogs in a Pile keyboardist and the birthday boy himself, Jeremy Kaplan back to the stage to sit on \u201cSunny Day.\u201d Adding a whole new dynamic to an already funky sound, Kaplan\u2019s contributions were huge here and he seemed like a natural fit, finally answering a question that\u2019s been dogging P4 fans for years: \u201cWhat would they sound like if they added some keys?\u201d Quite the way to ring in your 24<sup>th<\/sup> birthday indeed. &nbsp;Keeping the dance party going strong, the one-two punch of \u201cMove Like That\u201d into \u201cLive It Up\u201d had the crowd worked up into a sweaty frenzy as the band brought the lengthy opening set to a close with \u201cElephante.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/PIGEONS1292022ZAKRADICK_IMG-13-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-441890\"\/><figcaption>Jeremy Kaplan sits in with PPPP on his 24th birthday (12\/9\/22)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back with more positive vibes, Pigeons started the second frame with \u201cLive Life\u201d before going all in on an \u201cUpfunk\u201d sandwich that featured a jaw dropping drum solo from Alex \u201cGator\u201d Petropoulos smack dab in the middle. Always clever with their setlists, a bit of an aquatic theme seemed to emerge as \u201cBeneath the Surface\u201d gave way to fan favorite \u201cPoseidon\u201d resulting in one of the biggest peaks of the evening courtesy of Schon\u2019s incendiary shredding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/PIGEONS1292022ZAKRADICK_IMG-45-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-441896\"\/><figcaption>Ben Carrey of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong keeps it heady in Albany (12\/9\/22)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Master of disguise and purveyor of cool, bassist Ben Carrey was keeping it heady all night long, but perhaps his bass bombs were never more physically felt than on the next combination of songs, \u201cTwitch\u201d and \u201cWater.\u201d A scorching \u201cHigh As Five\u201d would bring the second set to a close and leave fans begging for more. Giving it 100 percent max effort and always happy to please \u201cthe flock\u201d, Pigeons would take flight one final time, returning for an encore of\u201d Schwanthem\u201d and sending the hot crowd into the cold night with huge feelings of satisfaction.&nbsp;&nbsp; A fantastic evening of live music, song and dance, shared joy and vibe that quite simply downtown Albany hasn\u2019t seen since
