PIGTAKTIX

The name at first sometimes raises the question: What the hell is 'Pigtaktix'? It is something that developed over a period of years during which a number of so-called dirty deeds occured. 'Pigpen'as a child became a pig of another sort with a gift of gab and character that turned out to be a form of tactics, if you will. "Pig got those tactics"all the time became the name of the Northern California product Pigtaktix. I've been witness to quite a bit of changes in the Rap music scene, some good, some bad. Not only in the Bay Area, but nationwide as well. I haven't allowed myself to fall completely into a certain category, and haven't made the mistake of jumping on any bandwagon. To put the music of Pigtaktix into words I would say it is like a Quentin Tarantino film with the cast of In Living Colour playing individual roles
with many different moods, voices, and styles. This is a result of a variety of influences from entertainment and music from nearly every genre. It is also from the advantage of getting around and soaking up the point of view from all aspects of life. As far as recording, Pig has been from '4'tracks to A-dats to Pro Tools HD. Featured on numerous Bay Area projects from the mid 1990's, changing between producers and camps caused a lack of communication and disagreement (hate). Therefore three plus finished albums ended up being sat on and eventually trashed. Nonetheless "Wreckin' Rosa Homes" and "Malt Liquor Dreams" were released followed by "Malt Liquor Dreams 1 & 1/2" that was distributed Nationwide by City Hall Records. The current album "Earthquake Weather" is scheduled for release Summer 2009."Earthquake" will provide a wide range of different production styles as well as topics and delivery. The end result is story of ups and downs, both funny and serious
from the mind of someone any person in the world can relate to. Thats Pigtaktix
