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 | ||

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 | ||

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 | ||

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. (steps down off the soapbox and falls flat on his a$$) Mike | ||

Noah Gabriel will be performing at River Lane Pub in Geneva IL on Saturday, March 5 at 9:00 p.m. The Noah Gabriel Band includes Tim Politte on drums, Gary Belniak on guitar, and Michael Addyman on fretless Alembic bass. Noah and the band will be featuring selections from the recently released album "In Aurora" and also will be playing new songs that are slated for the next album. Copies of "In Aurora" will be available at the show. River Lane Pub is located in Geneva on River Lane just west of the Fox River and north off Route 38, and features good food and appetizers. This is an intimate club that will fill up quickly and the good seating is usually there for those who get there a little early! Noah's updated website is http://www.noahgabriel.com | ||

Here's yet another revision! The River Lane gig mentioned one post up is on Friday, March 4th ... not Sat. March 5th. (At least we didn't show up a day late for the gig and face an angry pub owner)  Mike | ||

Hey Mike, Hope all is well. What time are you guys starting? I just might end up there. It would be interesting to see this line-up, as opposed to the Pickled Beats. If I don't make it tonight, take it easy and hopefully I will see a show soon. Later, Kevin | ||

Hi Kev, One East Wilson is literally on the east bank of the Fox River in Batavia. We start around 9 pm. Typically at Noah's shows, the first set is acooustic with Noah (and Gary on a few tunes), then the whole band is on at about 10 pm for two sets. It'll be good to see you again. How's the FIRST Series 2 Bal K playing for you? Hope to see you soon. Mike | ||

Not a Pickled BEATS gig but ..... I am going to be the house bassist at an Open Stage nite at Doug's American Bar & Grill on Indian Trail Road in Aurora this Wednesday night. I'll be using my Distillate through my Ampeg B-2R into an Acme Low B-2. We start around 9 pm with three tunes by the house band, then it's open stage time. (Roger, why don't you come up and show off your Skylark?) It's the same crew as used to do the Rudy's jam from a couple or three years ago. Coming up, The Noah Gabriel Band will be playing at Chord On Blues in St. Charles on Friday May 6th. More Info to follow. ...playing again... Mike | ||

I think that it's standard procedure that if you let the club owner know that there will be an Alembic on stage, they will provide a photographer (or maybe it was just a pizza, I can't really recall). | ||

Mike, If I recall didn't the Old Town Pub used to be called The Geneva Mining Company? (this was in the early eighties). They used to have entertainment downstairs on very small stage. Mostly room for a couple of people and acoustic guitars. Keith | ||

Senior Member Username: dadabass2001 Post Number: 405 Registered: 6-2002 |
Hi Keith, I honestly don't know about The Old Town Pub's history. I've never been there. The NGB is a quartet (2 guitars, bass & drums) with typically 5 or 6 guitars on stands. If the stage is as small as you say, we'll have Tim the drummer set up on stage and the rest of us will be on the floor (no drunken band jokes). Given Noah's acoustic roots I believe you're quite possibly right. We've got several shows coming up over the next month or two, and Pickled BEATS will be back in action very soon. Mike |
