Radio K presents MIKA MIKO
MIKA MIKO
The best part of Mika Miko is that they are one of the most popular bands in the area, but you would never know that they knew that. If you have seen them live, you know, they are so good and it makes you want to be a part of it. Mika Miko is an exciting thing to witness. They used to have a drummer named Jon Erik, but he left and they got Kate Hall. They got chased by vampires, played in a free mason temple, used to be crusty (but are still crusty at heart) and 4 out of 5 still live with their parents. They rather play at some kids house for a birthday party in the valley and not get paid than play some rock club. See them and you will know the truth about the pony funk.
GAY BEAST
Gay Beast formed mid-2005 during a fit of anxiety towards Midwestern passive aggression and as an attempt to make music that was queer in composition and aesthetic. Wielding a battery of drums, scraped and hammered guitars, chanted vocals, retro-future synths, saxophone, and other electronics, the trio (Angela Gerend, Daniel Luedtke, Isaac Rotto) build songs on grounds that adjoin complexity and catchiness, a space where both abrasion and tunefulness inhabit.
