Sweet Pick e il loro Rock Fusion

NOTIZIE PRINCIPALI

Five years back in 2001, I was enjoying my first days of freedom from that summer of concrete and iron bars. When I went searching for a little relief, a little relaxation, finding my way to a familiar place, I met one of my befallen friend's older brothers, who tempted me to demonstrate my skill at my instrument. After spending the evening sharing knowledge and songs, watching the occasional fight between Will and Rob, we soon found ourselves playing with another close friend, a Mr. AutoMiguel, an usual name for an unusual character. After spending countless times crowded in my basement bedroom, and traveling along the path of least resistance, we found ourselves at the door of a dank, damp, dingy house.

There the band created its home. Evolving under this new found emporium of music, the band was finally formed. After a few years, a few roommates, a few arrests, a few asylums, a distance friend, unknown to us at the time, was in search of a home for his insatiable appetite for music. The yellow bird that was soon to land was busy making his nest with the dried roots of jazz and the common sorrows of man.

The attraction that was drawing near finally crossed in the spring of 04, where the now five member band, entered a community music contest. There they earned the respect and confidence of their fellows friends and soon began to play live shows at parties and bars in surrounding area. There creating a following of friends, colleagues, and flops. They proceed to play all live music. Soon though tragedy would strike the band with a fallen friend and a dear believer in the band.

This death set off an emotional trigger of shows, road trips, reflections, and change. With the memory of our friend in the forefront of our thoughts we record our first demo at DePaul’s Music College. A quick four track disk, which was a foreshadow of the self titled album, Sweet Pick, allowed the band to circulate a physical copy of our live taste. Although many said the demo brought us "no justice", for our musical ability, it would provide the foundations for our first album.
