Pistachios NewsIt's been a long time coming, but finally The Pistachios have a van they can be proud of. Dan's formerly white van, unique for its single blue door, has been pimped up with a little help from Alex Martinez...And here it is in all its yellowy glory:
..About the band

Actually called Frankie Picasso and the Fabulous Pistachios, but unfortunately no-one can be arsed to say it, let alone write it.
An 11-piece band of lean, mean, fighting machines, with influences at work so diverse its amazing they hang out together.
They play funk, reggae, tango, ska, hip-hop, salsa, stuff, other stuff, and the people - real people - love them. Oh yeah, what a cracking band you have here...
Two-tone lives.
