These rowdies will burn the house down. A fixture on the Atlanta club scene, and around the Southeast throughout the 90's, their sound has been described as "progressive hoe down," "gunslinger guitar music highlighted by the acrobatics of high stepping vocalist Keli Mercadante," and even "country punk." Original members BRiLLO (bass), Mike Gamble (drums), Keli Mercadante (vocals), David Robinson (guitar) and Bill Shadle (guitar and vocals) headlined the 1st New Year's Eve show at Eddie's Attic in '92, which a few of those present might remember. The band's first release (on cassette!) was Get Wet, followed by CD's Ramona's Flophouse and Nature's Fundamental Embrace. 

In the mid 90's Brillo was sent to state prison, and David Henderson took over bass duties. In '96, David Robinson went traveling, eventually settling in Oregon, and Fred Duffer came in on guitar. That version of the band, along with Tom Gray on Dobro and lap steel, released the innovatively titled CD WILD WEST Picture Show. The band soldiered on, broke up. Keli moved to Massachusetts. Brillo was released from prison (his parole officer has graciously allowed him to play in this show). 

Both versions of the band will be doing sets. Old fans are invited to come relive their misspent youth, and new ones to see what they missed. WILD WEST Picture Show always give their all for their fans, and this promises to be a special night.
