On Friday December 13, 2002, the Pietasters will be peforming at the WHFS Holiday Nutcracker Ball acting as James Brown's back-up band. The story is that James wanted to come do the show, but not bring his band. The Pietasters sent James a demo of them doing some of his songs, and were promptly asked to perform as his band for the event. This is sure to be quite a sight, and if anyone can do, definitely do. The Pietasters are very honored that they have this opportunity to not only share a stage with James Brown, but to actually be able to be the band playing behind him.
