Lone Pigeon is the working name of Gordon Anderson, a Scottish musician and co-founder of The Beta Band (which was formerly known as ''The Pigeons'').〔Strong, Martin C. (2003) "Lone Pigeon", in ''The Great Indie Discography'', Canongate, ISBN 1-84195-335-0, p. 838-9〕〔 He is now a member of the band The Aliens with John Maclean and Robin Jones from The Beta Band. ==Career== Anderson was a founding member of The Beta Band, and co-wrote several of their early songs including "Dry the Rain" and "Dog's Got a Bone".〔〔Sharp, Johnny (2007) "(Out of the woods )", ''The Guardian'', 24 March 2007, retrieved 2010-11-06〕〔Haywood, Brad (2002) "(Lone Pigeon ''Concubine Rice'' )", Pitchfork Media, 21 October 2002, retrieved 2010-11-06〕 Ill-health forced him to leave the band and return to Scotland, and he began to record solo under the name Lone Pigeon in 1997.〔〔Klunk, Christine (2004) "(Lone Pigeon ''Schoozzzmmii'' )", PopMatters, 22 March 2004, retrieved 2010-11-06〕 His earliest albums - ''28 Secret Tracks'', ''Moses'', ''Auckley Craw'' and ''Honda Hedge'' - were released by himself and on Fence Records and are no longer for sale, but ''Concubine Rice'' (described by Allmusic as "an astonishing debut album")〔Marshall, Kingsley "(''Concubine Rice'' Review )", Allmusic, retrieved 2010-11-06〕 and ''Schoozzzmmii'' (described as "a zany but sunny folk-rock record")〔Spano, Charles "(''Schoozzzmmii'' Review )", Allmusic, retrieved 2010-11-06〕 are available worldwide from Domino Records and (Lone Pigeon's own label) Whizzkidzz respectively. The 'Honda Hedge' album, which was available only by mailorder, contains early versions of several of the songs later to appear on The Aliens' 'Astronomy for Dogs' (see below), including "Robotman", "Tomorrow", "Only Waiting" and "Honest Again". After Anderson broke his shoulder falling out of a tree, he re-recorded "Robot Man" as "Robust Man". In May 2006 an EP entitled ''Alienoid Starmonica'' was released, a collaboration with ex-Beta Band members John Maclean and Robin Jones under the name The Aliens.〔 The Aliens have gone on to release two more singles: ''The Happy Song'' and ''Setting Sun''. Their debut album, ''Astronomy for Dogs'' was released on 19 March 2007, published by EMI. Since the release, the band have parted company with EMI and released a new album ''Luna'' on September 29, 2008, to critical acclaim. He released a seven-disc box set entitled "Time Capsule" in 2011. In 2015 Anderson wrote and performed "Aeolian Arietta", a track on Beta Band co-founder John Maclean's feature film debut, ''Slow West''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lone Pigeon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
