WISN best local band contest - 2009!
Another great finish for the Cukes! We scored a 2nd place in 2009 for the WISN AList local band contest. That's 3 years in a row in the top 2 spots. You like us, you really like us.

THANK YOU!

The Screamin' Cucumbers

Feeling a wee bit Irish are ya?
bar gig Well that was fun! Seriously, when you got men giving free 'horsey' rides... I'm going to leave it at that.With the economy and all packing a bar wall to wall is a tough job. But with a fantastic location like Trinity has, it's hard to not to pack the place. Hell they even know what a Nutty Irishman is (if you haven't had one try it, it's like butter).

Big thanks to the management and staff at Trinity. We love working with a venue that has people who know what they are doing and do it well. We can't wait to set up a line of gigs with you.

2010 Winter Gig Season Kick Off @ Sandee's
2009 is behinds us. 2010 is fresh and new. What the hell does this have to do with the Sandee's gig? I don't know, all these little gig reviews can't be A+ quality!

make a wish We want to thank Kerry and the and the Sandee's crew for hosting the evening with the Cukes. As always, we had a great time. Couple shout outs (someone needs to invent a new term for this). Mike, Tracy, and Chris K, always good to see you guys. All our loyal Sheboygan Cukesters, thanks for starting off 2010 with us. Kelly, Becky, Gil, Tina, Alex, Sue, Amanada, & Chrystal (our free t-shirt winner) welcome to Screamin' Cucumber family!

Who are these masked rock n' rollers?
The Screamin' Cucumbers (AKA The Cukes) are well established and successful Milwaukee WI cover band. If you want to dance, air guitar, sing-a-long or kick back with a cold one, the Cukes are the band for you.

We also like to help out with some very worthy charities when we can. Heck if a little live music can increase the success of a charity event, we're game.

For the last 3 years we've donated our services to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk for a Cure event. This is held every year at the Milwaukee Zoo. JDRF is the leader in research associated with finding a cure for type 1 diabetes.

make a wish
Another great charity that we've been able to support over the years is Make a Wish Foundation. Every year this organization has a run/walk in Milwaukee on the Summerfest grounds. The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Wisconsin grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.
Sociable with Papa
You know winter is coming up quickly when you have to wear gloves to load up the band gear at the end of the night. Brrrr.

This was only our second time at Papa's Social Club but we already rank it up there with our favorite place to play. Built in PA and Sound man. Big stage. Swweeeetttt. We had some of our loyal Cuke-a-manics show up but we need to get everyone to come on out to Papa's. Trust us, it's a great place to catch the band.

First, thanks to our new friends at Papa's. Great group of people. It's fun for us to play at bars that are built to host live music.

Second, let's send our our props to A-Ron, Jen, the band spouses (after 6 years of gigin' they still come out to the shows), Soup, Julie, Paul, Aden, our free beer on the Cukes winners, Ashley, Kim, and our too sweet and too sexy door girl Lisa.

One final thing to mention. Elise wanted to make sure we thanked Naomi for coming out. Her husband Jason is in Iraq right now. Putting aside the politics, the Cukes are 100% behind our troops. We hope Jason and all of our troops stay safe and come home soon.

Check out the magical still action photos of the show Papa's Social Club Pictures.
Sandee's Rocktober
Check out the shots of the show Sandee's pics.

We are always blown away by the staff (Kerry and Jessie) and patrons at Sandee's. We know we don't get up to Sheboygan enough but we'll see what we can do about that in the near future.

We want to send a shout out to the lucky 'have a beer on the Cukes' winners: Michelle and Tina. One last happy birthday wish to Tina and Vicki. We love it when people party with us on their b-day

Mike & Traci (Cuke family), Matt, Charlotte, Connie, Francis, Jana, Steve, Heather, Elizabeth, Tyler, Katie, Bruce, thanks for signing up on the email list. We promise not to bug you too much.

Kristen thanks for helping us out with the pictures!

JDRF Charity Walk - Milwaukee Zoo 2009
To early morning charity supporting gigs in a row??? Yep that's the way we roll baby.
story image

The weather was perfect, the monkies were "ohh ohh ohh-ing", and Brandon was finally able to return to the Zoo after that incident with the tigers and cheetahs. Really, we can't go into that here. But we are proud to have supported the local chapter of the JDRF for the third year in a row.

Check out the action in glorious still frame techmology!

Careful Brandon. Do you really want to taunt the cheetah again? Seriously dude. You might be mean with a pair of sticks but they have Sharp. Nasty. Claws.

Special thanks to Andrea and everyone else who helped set up the event. This is a huge event and by all accounts, it went extemely well. Thanks for having us and we can't wait to help out again next year.

Make A Wish Charity Run 2009
story image
The Cukes took a little time out of their sleeping schedule to donate our meager services to the Make A Wish Foundation 2009 Run Walk event. By all accounts it was a huge success. Our voices were maybe an octave low for the first song or two but the caffine kicked in and the rest of the show was a blast. Check out the pictures here and see the storm troopers, Vince Condella from Fox 6, Connie and Fish from 97 the Brew, and even some very excited (it was 8 am!!!) Brookfield Central cheerleaders... How can you be so excited at 8 am?!?!?!

A change, a change, a change will do you good.

The old site was getting pretty dusty so we decided to change things up a bit. Enjoy!
