History

McCue and Nepthine began jamming together in 1993 while still in school in their hometown of Nanaimo. 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. 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. It appeared on the EarShot campus and community radio hip hop chart in August that year.
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.
After releasing an EP in 2011, in 2013 Pigeon Hole released a second album, Chimp Blood.
