Update: December 12, 2000 from LucasJust a quick update to let you know about Piggy's final events! On Friday, Dec. 15 is the date of the last all-ages show. It'll be at everyone's favourite all-ages venue, the Pavillion, and will feature entertainment from The Great Giffoni, the 4-Man Grindcore Hillbilly Orchestra, Confidence Band, films by our beloved Helen Hill, and, of course, Piggy! The show starts at 8:00 sharp, so don't be late. The last Piggy show ever will be held at the Marquee on Sunday, December 17. Opening acts are Dusty Sorbet (who helped record our new CD!), longtime Piggy special guest Al Tuck, and A/V, featuring Phillip Clark, who also helped record our new album, and Selwyn Sharples, brother of our former trombone player extrodinaire, Rosie. And guess what - all four bands will have new albums for you to buy! That's right, our CD is all done and has been sent away to be printed. If we're lucky, we'll have some copies on hand for you to pick up our last shows! But if you miss us, the CD will be available at local record stores, as well as through all of your favourite Piggy members. Have fun at the shows, and remember - Don't Stop the Calypso!!
Update: November 20, 2000 from LucasPiggy has been busy this past week! In addition to practicing and playing an all-ages benefit show at the Pavillion for Food Not Bombs and the Unidentified Food Organization, we've also spent three days in the studio recording a new album! Recording took place on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, and with help from the great people at Soundmarket we were able to record the whole album from start to finish in those three days. The record features all new songs, suprises, and special guests! If you want to pre-order you can contact us through email at piggycalypso@yahoo.com , through No Records Distribution's website, or by sendng a letter to: Piggy!

There's still a lot of work to do on the album, but we hope to have it out as soon as
possible. We'll keep you posted!

We have played some good shows lately. At the new punk rock skate park in Halifax (T.K.O) and at Rod and Tara's wedding in Lower Bedeque, Prince Edward Island, where we got the little children and the grandparents squaredancing up a storm! Look out for more! AND PLEASE ... IN THESE TROUBLED TIMES ... DO NOT FORGET TO FIGHT THE POWERS THAT BE!!
Update: April 18, 2000, from Lucas
Well, I think the Muchmusic interview turned out pretty nicely. It was great to see Becka's video, and I was suprised that the three or four words I managed to blurt out actually made it to air! If you missed the video, then stay tuned here - I'll try to have it up on the site within the next couple weeks (after I finish the approximately one million other things that I have to do...).
