*lyrically, take a look around Leicester and you'll see babysitting girls, cruisers, bandits, plastic armys and people that will ask you for lighters, but none of it is origonal.

Get down to one of our gigs and find out for yourself ;)
We're those bloody Pickpockets you hear all about. A four piece band from the beautiful city of Leicester. We've just starting to get into the swing of the gigging business so look out for us on your travels! Either way check out the tunes, drop us a comment or check out the reviews!

"Pickpockets played the main support slot. A new band, they have been busy on the local circuit, getting their name out there and picking up some supporters along the way. Songs have a raw, cheeky edge and three out of four contribute to the vocals. Gives depth and vitality to the music. A lively and pleasing performance from a band that suggests a lot of potential."
"Pickpockets hit the stage first, the young four piece band from Leicester kicked off the night with their bouncy and youthful style of music.
Leading from the front with Omar on guitar and vocals, Jon laying down the funky rifts, Glenn bringing in the bass with extreme style and talent and the crash of cymbals comes from Dave drumming away at the back.
Due to a last minute drop out the Pickpockets had a mere four hours notice prior to the gig starting and still they left a memorable impression on me, a band with potential for the future."
Do you guys have any demos at all? Would love to play you out on my radio show. I'll have to try and make it down to a gig in the not so distant future!!!
