Recorded Live at Reed St Station, Milwaukee, January 13, 2003. Original version on "Music For Minivans"
Nick Pipitone and his band, The Pugilists make music like most successful companies make products. They do it with ease, efficiency and a little bit of innovation. But not too much innovation. Nick and his band don't want to mess with the tried and true formula of guitars, drums, bass and the occasional Fender Rhodes. It's a corporate policy that should take Nick and his band to the Fortune 500 in not time.Band/artist history
Mired in obscurity and self-deprecation, Nick Pipitone's career in music is like the most boring VH-1 Behind the Music episode you've ever seen. While fronting a band called Sugarsmack in the late 90s, Nick and the band released a self-titled CD on Bombardier Records to critical acclaim in power pop circles which led to an invitation to the Los Angeles International Pop Overthrow festival. As most bands go, however, they disbanded not soon after relegating Nick back to the drawing board.
Nick then began writing songs for TV commercials, gaining some local acclaim in Milwaukee, a city he calls home. It took Nick a year to amass new material and to fool more people into playing with him; he fronted a band precariously called "Pipitone" which released a blistering power pop CD called "Music for Minivans" on Kool Kat Records of New Jersey. Underheard, underplayed and underappreciated, Music for Minivans featured a mixture of backup musicians from his past and present. Pipitone disbanded as Nick and his family were called to the suburbs. In the small village of Cedarburg, Wisconsin, Nick upset the peace and quiet by permeating the air with telecasters and jazzmasters. The neighbors didn't complain so he set to throwing tracks for new material into his Apple G4.
Songs abound, Nick waited for the right time to start a band. Re-united with longtime drummer Nick Verban (ex-everyone), and adding Jack Rodee, Kevin Ponec and Don Moore on lead guitar to the fold Nick set forth to kick some major ass. The new band, Nick Pipitone and the Pugilists, will start work on a new album this spring.Have you performed in front of an audience?Milwaukee, Wisconsin
