    Artist History
    On one late winter night, two young men decided to throw away the trappings of modern life and spit on them. One small beat machine, a guitar, a harmonica, and 20 hits of acid later billpickett. emerged to smash convention and expand the possibilities of art's transcendent aesthetic. We want to deconstruct church. After banging their heads against several brick walls and statues; the hidden heartbeat of Americana is ready to tear its way through the chest of this nation. We walk a thin line between music and rape. This machine kills fascists.
