The Pigeon Detectives started earning press attention for their gigs in 2004, and in 2006 they made their recorded debut with a limited edition vinyl 7", "I'm Not Sorry." On the intensity of the single, the Pigeon Detectives scored an opening slot on a British enlistment with Dirty Pretty Things, and a second limited edition single, "You Know I Love You," hit stores in July (though this time 1,000 copies were pressed, as opposed to 500 for the debut). The Kaiser Chiefs invited the Pigeon Detectives to circuit the U.K. and Europe with them in the light of 2006, and the group's third individual (and number 1 for the far-famed indie mark Dance to the Radio), "I Found Out," was released in November, eventually reaching number one on the U.K. indie charts. Nick Baines of the Kaiser Chiefs began name-checking the Pigeon Detectives as his favourite new band, and noted British disc jockeys Steve Lamacq, Jo Whiley, and Zane Lowe championed the grouping as single number four-spot, "Romanticist Type," became a Top 20 pop strike.
