About The Pickpockets

The Pickpockets are heralded for creating concise pop songs with innately agreeable melodies and lyrics that are informed by boundless cynicism and humorously passive-aggressive attitude. The inflammatory consensus is that the Pickpockets sound like Natalie Merchant fronting the Replacements, if: a) Natalie Merchant was even remotely not nausea-inducing; b) Westerberg had somehow grown up listening to the Smiths and the Jesus and Mary Chain instead of the Faces and Thin Lizzy; and c) Evan Dando was in the band, too, but not always stoned.

Art Alley & Downtown Rapid City, SD	Dec 30 2007 9:02 AM Thanks for becoming a friend. Art involvement and participation is what Art Alley represents. It is part of the participation art and music scene that is expanding in downtown Rapid City. Art Alley friends are diverse but have something in common. We see a value in art participation and art with less restraint, even art with varying qualities. And there is a little bit of rebel in our blood. There is some power in this diversity and our common bond. You are part of that power. Art Alley has been threatened in the past and may very well be again. What those threats might be we can't know. It is controversial and as you can imagine some may wish to change or eliminate it. If that happens we hope your voice will be heard. You can help now by asking your friends and their friends to be a friend of Art Alley. You are part of the Art! The very best to you, Editor Art Alley Myspace Page Email: ArtAlley@Rushmore.com
