About Pigeonhed

Pigeonhed was a Seattle, Washington-area band that combined elements of funk, soul, trip hop, and lo-fi. The band was a collaboration of Shawn Smith and Steve Fisk, with additional guitar contributions from Soundgarden's Kim Thayil, that lasted from 1993 to 1997 and produced two albums of original material (Pigeonhed & The Full Sentence) and a further album of remixes by various production teams (Pigeonhed's Flash Bulb Emergency Overflow Cavelcade of Remixes). They are perhaps best known for their Prince homage "Battle Flag", which, as remixed (and arguably totally retooled) by Lo Fidelity Allstars, enjoyed brief popularity in US and UK clubs and indie radio stations.
