Official Worldwide Debut of The Picklecatz
Ottawa Fringe Festival, June 23, 2002

Ottawa, May 11, 2002 ­ In their first official performance, The Picklecatz 
will be showing off their own special blend of live music and wacky stage 
show (featuring appearances by Mr. Pickled Egg Vendor and, of course, The 
Great Sweater Exchange) at the Ottawa Fringe Festival.

The Picklecatz will be playing at the Ottawa Fringe Festival Tent (corner of 
Daly and Waller) on June 23, 2002 at 10pm.

Having spent the last year perfecting their music and their antics, The 
Picklecatz have chosen the Fringe Festival as their venue to burst onto the 
Ottawa scene. You can expect to hear an eclectic mix of all original 
compositions, ranging from rockinı tunes to bluesy melodies to 
country-inspired chords. The audience will get a chance to participate, 
shouting out requests, eating pickled eggs, and being wowed by The Great 
Sweater Exchange.

The bandıs members include Troy Jones on guitar and lead vocals, Stephan 
Meyer on keyboards and vocals, Matt Scase on guitar, Rob Sample on bass, and 
Patrick Calnan on drums. The Picklecatz have ³fun² as their main goal, and 
communicate this to their audiences through their catchy music, offbeat 
lyrics, and exciting stage presence.
