Pigeons Playing Ping Pong wrapped up their four-night “Red Hot Sgt. Peppers” Halloween run this past weekend, creating unique setlists that contained their own originals as well as covers of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Beatles.

The run was spread over gigs in Richmond, Va. and Charlotte, NC, as well as a two-night stint in Atlanta.

Night one, Oct. 31, was also frontman Greg Ormont’s birthday. As seen in a new pro-shot video, the band was sure to honor the singer-guitarist. After starting off with their own “Offshoot,” the band departs into their debut of RHCP’s “Around the World,” before finding their way back to their own “Time to Ride.” Finally, as a nod to Ormont, they dig into The Beatles’ “Birthday” off The White Album. “Happy Birthday to me!” Ormont exclaims amid the funk.

To bookend an eventful run, the band had one more trick up their sleeves on Nov. 3, bringing the Grateful Dead into the mix with a special “Dead Hot Sgt. Peppers” set.
