History

Future Pigeon are an award-winning underground band from LA; they are often associated in performances with other more famous members of that scene such as the late Elliott Smith, Smokey Hormel, Hank Williams III, and others.

Future Pigeon also performed a dub version of Elliott Smith's "Waltz No. 2 (XO)" for the short film/documentary Strange Parallel.

Future Pigeon are also featured in the movie Southlander (which also features Elliott Smith, in a small role as a bus driver). The semi-fictional Future Pigeon of that film includes Beth Orton ("Rocket") as lead vocalist.
