Pigmy Love Circus is a Los Angeles rock band that has existed since the late 1980s era of the Hollywood underground rock scene.
The Pigmy Love Circus originally consisted of: Shepherd Stevenson on bass, Mike Savage on vocals, Anthony Martinez (Black Flag) on drums with Rand "Pig" Walters and Peter Fletcher on guitars. Danny Carey joined in 1992 but his tenure was cut short by the signing of alternative-rock band Tool.
By 1995, the band broke up. What was left of the band went their separate ways. Savage went on to form 57 Crown and Big Ugly both being formidable bands in Hollywood. Stevenson focused on becoming a film director. Fletcher moved to Denver. Rand "Pig" Walters disappeared.
In 1999, Fletcher returned to LA and the flame was rekindled when Carey demanded a reunion.
Known for lively, confrontational concerts[1] the band's music and primal energy incites fans to jump on stage (encouraged by the band) and sing along on songs like "Dagwood Killed Blondie" and "Mad House Clown". The band achieved iconic status in the Los Angeles underground music scene.[2]
The band is currently working on material for their next release.
