The Flying Pigs latest release, DESI, is now available on Sonic Trout Records. The follow up to the Flying Pigs' sold-out debut, MEXICAN DIVORCE, DESI contains sixteen of the Pigs' most requested numbers, as well as special guest appearances by The Flat Duo Jets' Dexter Romweber, The Four Star Combo's Matt Goldman, The H-Bombs' Chris Chamis, The Woods' Terry Anderson & Jack Cornell, Pressure Boy Jack Campbell, and many more modern music luminaries.
Based in Durham, North Carolina, The Flying Pigs spent much of the 1980's making night club, concert hall, radio and television appearances throughout the Piedmont to enthusiastic audiences. The endless touring and packed venues took its toll, however, as far as live performance goes. Rhythm guitarist P.J. O'Connell commented, "it got to the point where I couldn't even hear myself on stage, and the crowds were out of control." Despite efforts to repair the band's monitor system, as the 90's approached The Flying Pigs went into their second "Beatles period", performing almost exclusively at Overdub Lane Studios with producer Wes Lachot, who until that time had worked primarily recording comedy acts.
The end result is DESI, now available on Cape Cod based Sonic Trout Records, home of The Incredible Casuals, Chandler Travis, and other distinguished "fellow travelers". The Flying Pigs have recently played surprise, unannounced night club appearances, under the name "The Flying Pigs", so be prepared for the unexpected.
