Seattle-based indie rock band Pickwick hits the main stage Saturday, May 7 on the Pacific Lutheran University golf course to perform at LollaPLUza 2016. Pickwick has performed live at KEXP and at Bumbershoot in 2014. (youtube.com/watch?v=T9lv0mbPch8)
Student band Head Portal won PLU Battle of the Bands, landing them a spot on the mainstage alongside Pickwick. The second and third place bands, Runaway Satellites and Caleb & Denae, will also perform on B stages.
Pickwick’s last album was released in March 2016. It combines classically-styled R&B/Soul with a messier, louder, garage rock – a powerful combination, to say the least. Their music doesn’t just give you energy, it is energy.
Pickwick announced via Facebook that they just finished recording their second full-length LP with the great Erik Blood (who’s previous work includes music for Shabazz Palaces, Tacocat, THEESatisfaction and The Moondoggies).
