BIO:
"These cats play everything AND the kitchen sink!"- Art Observer
In 2002 a mysterious green iceberg was discovered by a band of unemployed pirates in Lake
Michigan . Frozen inside were the Pickle Boys, cold solid in a chunk of sour brine. The DFPP were
hoisted aboard, chiseled free and re-animated by the ship’s crude pirate scientist chef using a
combination of spirits and pickle juice. As the DFPP awoke from their icy slumber they started
singing and have never stopped. Where the Pickles came from and where they are going remains a
mystery…
From outhouse to henhouse to waffle house to public house both hither and yon the Pickles have
caused a rafter-shaking ruckus wherever they roll, dreaming a hobo's knapsack of stories and songs
along the way.
These Pickle fellers have wobbled their magical musical gypsy medicine wagon from one end of this
here country to t'other, with stops including LOLLAPALOOZA, WAKARUSA and TELLURIDE
along the way.
What fanciful fuel powers this bubbling band of minstrels you say? Why, it is Pickle Power- the
power to fabricate mutant musical instruments and sea shanties. The power to shatter a barfull of
whisky glasses with sonic ferocity one night then serenade a giggling group of itty bitty kids the next
morning.
Armed with a Frankenststonian array of homemade monster instruments, their musical recipe is flavored with Jug Band, Folk, and general acoustic tastiness. You'll relish the Pickles!
