Picket Line Parking Lots

PR reports: Picket Line is perhaps the only band on the road today with its own self-sufficient traveling venue. Gaining a name for themselves by performing their on-the-spot live shows across the country, this band can pull over to the side of the road, drop the side of their van into a fully powered stage, flip the switch and electrify whatever audience is present with their own brand of progressive Indie-Rock. Said by some to have aspects of Screamo and Hardcore in the mix, Picket Line is definitely making a statement not only with their ingenious mode of transportation, but with their own defined and original sound as well. Keep an eye on parking lots, campus fields and record store-fronts near you... you may be caught unawares, and rocked right there where you stand... by Picket Line.[see full story for dates]- Click Here for the Full Story
