February 21,
1997 -- 31st Street Pub, Pittsburgh, PA.
After too long of a break Pickle was bound for the 'burgh to do a show with
the infamous Bitter Delores; always a pleasure. After a solemn drive
through
the lush organic scenery -- the path to Pittsburgh, we ended up at the
club. Pickle was greeted by a group of strangers, later to be announced as
the band Folly. They were a really good band. They are signed to
Sun Records, a record label famous for Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis. The most
interesting
thing about Folly is their drummer, a demure woman small of frame,
however big on emotion. She beat the drums as if they were a "rented mule."
The band Folly was good. Then Pickle, who were so
dispondent about the feedback they were experiencing, buckled
down and performed a great show. (What rock-n-rollers we are). Finally,
there was BItter Delores, they put on a superb show. Every time that we
play with them it just keeps getting better and better. Even though
I still can't figure out which one of them is Delores. Oh well, the
mystery continues.

Pondering on Pickle, by Heinrich.
Well, we played at the 31st Street
Pub in Pittsburgh, and it turned out to be a great show. We didn't
have a whole lot of time to play, but that gave us the opportunity to
scale down our set and focus on our stronger material. We also played
with two other rockin' bands which kept everything moving. The first
band, Folly, envigorated the club with massive doses of energy and chops
(especially the drummer, who was especially intense), and the other act,
Bitter Delores...well, let's just say that they never fail to deliver the
goods. As far as Pickle goes, we seemed tight and focused; plus, add that
special ingredient of passion, and I think we (hopefully) brought down the
house.
Overall, a fun and great show.
Love and optimism,
Heinrich.
