Pigmoney

The band consists of Chance Villegas (Lead Vocals/Drums), Joe Villegas
(Guitar), and Parks (Bass/Vocals). They originate out of Tucson, AZ. The
name Pigmoney was created on a trip between Arizona and California. Joe
was pulled over for speeding. The magic happened when he got his ticket
and said, "Damnit! Why am I always giving these Pigs money?" Thus,
Pigmoney was born.
Pigmoney's self-titled debut E.P. was released in 2007, and they are now currently recording their first full-length album, entitled "Evil Genius Hero." For this effort, Pigmoney has signed with Major Record Label Wright Records, and are currently working with producer Franki Doll.
Lyrics and music are written by all members of the band. The name
Pigmoney has driven the lyrical content to consist of topics like Power,
Money, Control and Struggle. The self titled E.P. has songs like "I Want
More" that speak of the greed within oneself, always wanting more, and
never holding on to satisfaction. Other songs like "Slave to Nothing"
simply say not to be a slave to any form of control. The new album "Evil
Genius Hero" (to be released) is going forward with the same ideas. With
lines like "we don't need to follow them" (Touch My Body) and "One thought, One mind, how do we change this design" (Make it Last) Pigmoney shows the desire to create change and become truly free.
"Slave to Nothing" became Pigmoney's first music video, released in 2008
and recorded in Las Vegas. In the same year a video for "Time Has Come" was created by video extraordinaire, Bob Downey. The video is very politically driven exposing the war machine at its worst, using all the free internet video resources available today. The latest video "I Want More" (2010) was Produced by Jason Sun, directed by Sarah Hamblin, written by Sarah Hamblin and Pigmoney. This video depicts 3 different characters in their current life situation quickly transforming into what they want to
be: a hospital worker becoming a rocket scientist, a waitress becoming an actress, and a business man with never ending want for money, control and ultimately divine power.
Everyone in the band has become a better writer and a better player.
Chance is now singing and playing highly energetic drums at the same time, making Pigmoney stand out in the rock genre. The sound they have created is fearless and they are highly anticipating the release of their new
album, "Evil Genius Hero."
