What's up with this "Hot Picks"?Who's behind the Hot Picks?Doug, Barry and Alex are The Guys. They have wasted a good part of their lives seeking out live dance music and contriving to dance to it. The Guys also like to keep an eye out for what's happening around town. And they want you to find out about what's worth showing up for. Why do we need Hot Picks?In addition to some very good local bands, some great regional and national acts show up regularly at Pittsburgh venues. Not all of these bands are known as “dance bands”, but they can play some pretty danceable music. If we're lucky, we get the combination of danceable music and a decent dance floor. Then there are times a great regional or national act will come through Pittsburgh for the first time but not many people know who they are or why they're special. So not many people show up, and it's difficult to get them to come back. We highlight these acts in our Hot Picks with a brief description so you can decide if you want to see them. The Guys do not ignore our local bands and venues. It is difficult to make it to every event in Pittsburgh and sometimes even more difficult to find out about every event! Follow our picks and we guarantee you a good time. Our picks focus on shows that combine good listening and good dancing. Our tastes definitely tend towards dance options: we're The Guys, and we're here to dance. What can you do?Keep and eye on this site or sign up for our email list! If something comes up during the month our Picks could change.
Pittsburgh can be on the way between bigger gigs and performers arrange to
stop over in town and do a show, maybe on an off night. Frequently
promoters in town don't provide much advance notice. If you learn of a
potential good pick coming up let us know and we'll publicize it. Ok, but who are The Guys?
Barry Adams Bj2adams@juno.com My main interests are Rockabilly, Swing-Lindy, and Roots music. Roots music; that’s stuff like Cajun, Old-Time, Folk, Zydeco and other Eclectic stuff. Trust me, I have wasted a good part of my adult life listening to live music. Follow our picks and we guarantee you a good time. Alex Rudnicky Doug Wibel dcwible@sgi.net Wanna be a Guy?
