Mike,
 
I was planning on going but was dog tired by 9:00pm last Friday.  
 
Next show is where?  
 
Later,
 
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Next up is a double weekend! Pickled BEATS will play Friday October 1st at Palace Billiards in Villa Park from 9:30 pm - 1 am, then Saturday October 2nd in the beer garden at O'Brien's pub and grill in Batavia from 8:30 pm - 12 midnight.

Pickled Beat at the Beer Garden ...
Sounds great!
It's becoming a standard expression in US lingo !!!
 
Paul the bad one

This coming wekend is the one I mentioned above (Friday at Palace Billiards, Saturday at O'Brien's), and I'll be using my newest rig... an F-1X preamp into a QSC RMX1450 power amp driving a 4 ohm Acme Low B2 (thanks, Bill!) I used this rig at a private outdoor party on the 18th and was amazed at how deep the bass sounded. More fun coming up!
Mike

Well, the Saturday gig is cancelled (too cold for the Beer Garden -  Saturday daytime high in the 50s, low around 40), but I'm still PLAYING TONIGHT!!
Oh Boy Oh Boy!
Mike

They like us at Palace Billiards!
Pickled BEATS returns (our third visit) to Palace Billiards on Roosevelt Road in Villa Park on Friday, November 19th from 9:30 pm to 1 am.  
Palace Billiards is an all ages club (with a bar). There is no cover charge. We've had featured guests at the last two shows here, I'm betting the same will hold.
I'll be using both Epics (no - not simultaneously! I'm not Michael Manring.) thru my F-1X, QSC and Acme low B2.
Mike

It's nice to be wanted....  Well, at least in this context.
 

Playing this Friday at Palace Billiards in Villa Park. No cover, all ages bar and club. See two posts up for details.  
Mike

Pickled BEATS breaks in a new (to us) club:
 
Friday, January 14, 2005 ? Satisfied Frog  
29W102 Butterfield Road, Warrenville, IL  (630) 393-2300
(between Naperville Rd. and Route 59, on the north side of Butterfield)
I'll be using both Epics again.
 
Hope to see friends and family out there!
Mike

Playing tomorrow night! Our drummer is having twins within the next month, so this will be our last Pickled BEATS show until mid Spring or later
 
Go Andrew!
Hi Hollis and thanks! Your CD is on the way.
Mike

Mike,
 
Thank you, the check's in the mail!  (no, really! The check really is in the mail... I swear).  
 
My pleasure Mike, Janet and I are looking forward to it.  
 
Have fun tomorrow night.

Okay, a Pickled BEATS update from Chicagoland: Our drummer Andy and his wife Laura just had twins on Tuesday early AM (when else). Mom and Matthew and Allison are doing well. Andy is beside himself (well ... and beside his family) and proud as can be. So PB will be on performing hiatus for awhile.
 
However, Gary B and I are part of Noah Gabriel's backup band with Tim Polite on drums. We're playing at River Lane in Geneva, IL this Saturday starting around 9 PM. Noah's album for Hidden Track Records is just out and we'll be doing the whole CD plus some new tracks as well.
Mike

The Noah Gabriel Band (Noah, Gary Belniak, Tim Polite, and me) is playing tomorrow, Sat. Feb.5 at One East Wilson in Batavia, IL.
We start about 9 pm, and there's no cover. Again we'll be doing Noahs new CD from Hidden Track Records, In Aurora plus 3 brand new tracks and a few covers.
 
Mike

The Noah Gabriel Band returns to One East Wilson in Batavia IL on this St. Particks Day, Feb. 17th Thursday. The line up is as listed one post up, and I'll be playing my fretless Epic. We start about 9 pm.
Mike

Please disregard the post immediatly above. For those of us with holiday acuity and a verbose sense of the ridiculous, this would be referred to as a screw-up. I'll repost during the correct month and maybe someone will care.
