Pigeon Toe, the German progressive rock band featuring
Triptykon drummer
Norman Lonhard, has inked a deal with
Lifeforce Records. The band's debut album will be released later in the year.
Brothers
Martin Fischer and
Hans Fischer, who were previously in such bands as
Fear My Thoughts,
Backslide and
Mongouse, got the idea to form a new project in 2008. After coming up with several rough song ideas, they asked their then-
Fear My Thoughts bandmate
Lonhard to sit behin the kit for the new group. A short time later, bassist
Ben Krahl (
Final Kings) joined the fold, to be followed by
Patrick Hagmann on third guitar and synths.
Pigeon Toe played several shows in 2010 and 2011 with such acts as
Karnivool and
Long Distance Calling, whom they supported on their
"Into The Black Wide Open" tour through Germany and Switzerland.
Pigeon Toe is:
Martin Fischer (Marsn) - Guitar/Vocals
Hans Fischer (Hanson) - Guitar/Vocals
Norman Lonhard - Drums
Patrick Hagmann - Guitar/Synths
