"The combined power of tweaked-out bluegrass and suds cures any ill... But this isn't some novelty act. The Pickadillos are a serious quintet, shredding with such ferver they make Enron seem like a gassy weed whacker."

"Wildly infectious music...A warning: you may have to stand during the performance, or you may just want to stand just because the music moves you."
Jerry Fink
Las Vegas Sun - Las Vegas Sun
It's as if a restless bluegrass ghost left the body of Appalachian orthodoxy to serially invade the frames of Motown, ...'80s metal... and New Wave. The Pickadillos do its bidding with off-beat hi-hats and impeccable musicianship..."

Bio
In just a few short months The Pickadillos have been featured in Las Vegas City Life, The Las Vegas Sun and Las Vegas Style Magazine. Their eight month weekly engagement at The Freakin' Frog consistently drew packed houses as curious new fans came from all over the country to experience "Mutant Bluegrass That Rocks ".
A typical Pickadillos show is part foot-stomping hoedown, part rock concert, and part surprise party. Watch the faces of newcomers as they start tapping toes to a bluegrass song that somehow seems familiar, only to finally realize that what they are listening to is a heavy metal hit from the 1980's, or a Motown hit from the 1960's. More than a band, a Pickadillos Show is an event, a wild hayride that takes the audience down musical roads that are at once familiar and still very unique. Yet in the words of Las Vegas City Life "This isn't some novelty act. The Pickadillos are a serious quintet, shredding with such fervor they make Enron seem like a gassy weed whacker ."
