Pigeon Hole is a Canadian hip hop group from Vancouver. The duo consists of Colin "Dusty Melo" McCue and Lee "Marmalade" Napthine, who are also members of the band Sweatshop Union.[2][3]

History

McCue and Nepthine began jamming together in 1993 while still in school in their hometown of Nanaimo.[4][5] They began performing on the Vancouver hip hop scene, and later joined the collective Sweatshop Union. The pair released their first album as a duo, Age Like Astronauts, in 2010 on URBNET Records.[6] It was one of three albums released on the same day by side projects of Sweatshop Union, alongside Dirty Circus's Alive and Well and Trillionaire$' By Hook or by Crook.[6] It appeared on the EarShot campus and community radio hip hop chart in August that year.[7]

The album features collaborations with D-Sisive, Moka Only and their Sweatshop Union colleagues DJ Itchy Ron and Mos Eisley and was nominated for the 2011 WCMA rap recording of the year.[6]

After releasing an EP in 2011, in 2013 Pigeon Hole released a second album, Chimp Blood.[8]
