The Flying Pigs - Collision Course
from the Greetings From Comboland #2 Cassette - 1985

Hailing from Durham, NC The Flying Pigs were an Alt-Pop combo with a sound similar to Mississippi's Windbreakers. Led by Singer/Guitarist Pat O'Connell the Pigs gigged throughout the Southeast sharing the bill with the dB's, Los Lobos, and NRBQ to name just a few. The Collision Course was also on the band's second release "Demi" which can still be purchased through Sonic Trout Records. After the demise of The Flying Pigs, Pat (now known as P.J.) moved to Mass. and got mixed up with The NRBQ/Incredible Casuals camp; which can only be trouble (the good kinda trouble). For more about P.J. O'Connell click here.

Band Members:
Pat O'Connell - Vocals, Guitar
Billy McCarthy - Guitar
Robert Truesdale - Bass, Vocals
Stacy Weaver - Drums, Vocals
