UPCOMING SHOWSStay tuned...RECENT SHOWSFriday, May 18, 2001 witnessed the REUNION of Whiter Side Of Trash at Snug Harbor in New Paltz, NY! Whiter Side drew probably their largest crowd as they opened for Whiskey Dick's last show ever! In addition to the traditional members, Whiter Side added the great talents of drummer Hector Beccera. Logjamming opened the show. Pete Pidgeon sat in with Whiskey Dick to help perform their final live tune - an original funk piece that morphed into more of a live techno feel. Whiskey Dick will be changing their name and perhaps changing their lineup in the coming months in wake of the passing of bassist Ivo Shanks. See the Old Setlists Page for the setlist. Wednesday, August 30, 2000, at Oasis Cafe's Acoustic Open Mic in New Paltz, NY, saw the group's final performane with a pair of tunes including the debut of "Steppin' Razor" by Peter Tosh (sung by Gianny) and the Whiter Side classic - Joe Cocker's "Feelin' Alright." It was guitarist Pete Pidgeon's last night hosting the open mic before his move to Boston. Whiter Side will continue on in New Paltz under the name Humous (but pronounce Hoo-moose). Look for upcoming shows in New Paltz, NY at Oasis Cafe and Snug Harbor. On Friday, June 9, 2000, Whiter Side headlined Snug Harbor in New Paltz, NY along-side Pete's jazz trio the Pidgeon Piller Project. The show featured Pete's older brother Scott Pidgeon on 12-string and 6-string guitars. This was the first time Pete and Scott had played together on stage in *9* years!
