The three of them, who had number of collaborations in various music projects in the past, decided to form a band together and combine their versatile backgrounds. In 2002, they started experimenting with digital and analogue sounds, and united their passion for technology and fired up guitars, hence creating a hybrid of electronic music with a dark twist. Their songs are ranging from frenzic aggressive EBM to more down tempo yet still powerful anthems with hypnotic and often haunting melodies.

They believe in having a strong and eye-catching stage presence to compliment their music and, drawing elements from Visual Kei, they adjust it to fit their own identity and perception of “performance” and “image” in general.

Starting in Greece, a country with a limited number of bands in the greater genre of industrial and electro, they immediately stood out from the crowd with their first ever live performance, which was on October 30th 2006 at club Underworld, Athens with Japanese band BLOOD. They headlined their first gig soon after, at the 8ball club in Thessaloniki, which proved out a huge success.

The band was discovered by Japanese independent label Cure and in March 2007 their debut album, titled “Place No Reliance” was released. As summarized by the band itself, this album is “…A Manifesto for the masses, a sinister antidote for your spiritual decadence…”. And indeed it is.

Virgins O.R Pigeons made their first international tour in late summer, appearing live in northern Europe and were welcomed with great enthusiasm.

They also collaborated with BLOOD on a number of remixes. One of them was included in the EP “Dead-Hearted” (Cure, 2007) which was sold out in a couple of weeks after its release. More remixes will be included in near future releases.

A new version of their hit song “Existe”, the “Violated Virgin Remix” is being included in the upcoming Alfa Matrix compilation Endzeit Bunkertracks 4CD boxset act III (out on December 7th by Alfa Matrix).

In the beggining of 2008 Steph had to leave the band to pursue a different line of career and was replaced by EL.

Virgins O.R Pigeons are currently working on their 2nd album and planning further live appearances.

Reach Out
Virgins o.r Pigeons Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She never thought him
Never needed him
Coz she's a tough girl
With no regrets or repentance

Reach out for me
Even though you'll never reach me
I try to be

You never, never let me be

I took a deep breath
To control myself
For the last time
This will be your death

Reach out for me
Even though you'll never reach me
I try to be
You never, never let me be

Reach out for me
Even though you'll never reach me
Will it make any difference
If your mind is full of...Full of shit!
Reach out for me
Even though you'll never reach me
Will it make any difference
If your mind is full of...Full of shit!

She never thought me
Never needed me
She's just a tough girl
With no regrets and repentance

Just bite the cracks
Just bite the cracks you made in my mind
Hell is just a paradise
In the blind...eyes of the damned!

Reach out for me
Even though you'll never reach me
Will it make any difference
If your mind is full of...Full of shit!
Reach out for me
Even though you'll never reach me

Will it make any difference
If your mind is full of...Full of shit!

Overall Meaning

In Virgins o.r Pigeons's song "Reach Out," the lyrics describe a tough girl who doesn't need or want anything from the song's narrator. The singer speaks about his desire for her to reach out to him, but acknowledges that she will never actually reach him. He also mentions his attempts to control himself for what he suggest is the last time, implying that some violent confrontation is about to occur.

The chorus repeats the desire for the tough girl to reach out, but adds the line "if your mind is full of... full of shit!" This could be interpreted as the singer suggesting that the tough girl is closed off to real connection or intimacy, and thus has a "full-of-shit" mentality. The final lines of the song mention biting the cracks made in the singer's mind, and suggest that hell is a paradise in the eyes of the damned. This could be interpreted as the singer acknowledging the hurt and damage that the tough girl has inflicted upon him, and implying that he has been left in some sort of emotional hell.
