Pickled BEATS gigs

[kevin_k]

Mike,
 
It is a cool place for bands to play at.  I have a wedding to go to this weekend or I would be there.  We'll have to get together again some weekend this fall and fuss around on our basses.  
 
How was this past weekend's festival?  
 
Later,
 
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
This last weekend was great - big fun X 3. I don't own a digital camera, so I have to rely on the kindness of fans/significant others to the band to gain access to images. Of course, I record almost every show to minidisc, and then burn CDs for band review.
Yes, I'd love to get together again. I don't know if you saw that I'm adjusting the setup on my fretless for better mwah and easier playing (I hope). So far, so good.
See you soon,
Mike

I need to post quicker  sometimes. Gary Belniak, a percussionist named Andy and I are backing Noah Gabriel  tonight at River Lane in Geneva. We're one block west of the Fox River and less than one block north of Roosevelt Road for those in the area.
We start at 9 or 9:30. I'll be fretless tonight.

Truely, I qualify as an amateur. They called my name during Little Wing for a solo Friday. I started fine, then fell off the cliff (I need to practice modes above 12th fret - among other things).
 
Next public gigs in two weeks.

I like playing Little Wing.  It was on the set list for the last several projects I was in.

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

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 !!!

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!

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

[dadabass2001]

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.
