Biography
Pigeons on the Gate is based in Switzerland, but the bedrock of their sounds lies firmly within the Irish Folk and Pop. Their music has been described as a unique combination of "Swiss precision and Celtic groove", "melodic Folk-Pop with a touch of Ireland".
With the critically acclaimed album "The Shift" (2014), Pigeons on the Gate created their very own concept of modern Folk-Pop with an unmistakable Irish Touch. The secret of the band's success obviously lies with the two front vocalists, Roger and Lajescha O'Dubler. The couple is a perfect match, challenging each other with their very different vocal- and song-writing-styles. Their concerts are true events featuring high-energy performances and an irrestistible mix of their own writings and ancient Irish music.
With numerous radio and television appearances and a busy tour schedule, Pigeons on the Gate has attracted a growing audience over the years, playing concerts and festivals throughout Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Ireland. In Summer 2016, their new EP „Take the Shot“ peaked at number 9 in the Swiss Charts. Now, two years later, they have successfully released their long-awaited third studio album „Chasing Suns“, entering Number 4 on the iTunes Pop Charts (October 5, 2018).
