The Pigeon Detectives are a band from Rothwell, Leeds, who formed in 2002. The band is made up of Matt Bowman (vocals), Oliver Main (lead guitar), Ryan Wilson (rhythm guitar), Dave Best (bass) and Jimmi Naylor (drums). They have been championed by such well known DJs as Steve Lamacq and Jo Whiley, and performed at the Reading and Leeds Festivals in 2006, where they were tagged "the band most likely to leap to the main stage in 2007" in an NME review. In early November 2006 they supported fellow West Yorkshire band Kaiser Chiefs, who are known to be fans of the band, on a number of occasions around Europe. On 8 July 2007, they played on the Radio 1 NME Stage in front of thousands at T in the Park. The performance was televised and shown later that day on BBC3.  |
