New Bloodshot Signing: Mark Pickerel! April 29, 2006

From the wild and wooly and weird Pacific Northwest, Mark Pickerel has quite the back story. He was the drummer in seminal grunge faves The Screaming Trees, and has played on albums by Mark Lanegan, Brandi Carlile, and some band from Aberdeen named...er....um...Nirvana or something like that. He's toured with Neko Case and contributed to her track on the Hard-Headed Woman: A Celebration of Wanda Jackson compilation. He even owned the most culturally and musically diverse record store in Eastern Washington. Independent retail, now THAT'S a character builder. Now he's moved from behind the kit and, with his band the Praying Hands, is ready to start the next chapter in his musical life

Mark?s latest release, Snake in the Radio, will be out through Bloodshot Records this Spring.
