... it's human, it's real and it has soul - Iggy Pop after naming 'Sweet Leaf of the North' as his favourite song of the decade. Best live band I have seen all summer - Gideon Coe As mad as a wasp trapped under a pint glass - Shaun Keaveny. On stage – a 69-year-old man wearing a string vest and sun-hat plays air-guitar with what appears to be a crook lock. Backed by musicians bringing a beguiling blend of funk, punk, pop and rock and roll. It's a thrilling alchemy of music, poetry, ramblings, and anarchy. It's rare to see someone walking the tightrope between genius and insanity in front of you, but Mik Artistik makes a living out of it. At times it seems his balance may fail him, and for a fleeting moment he flirts on the cusp of madness, but always manages pulls himself back from the edge. Just. Compelling, mesmeric, spellbinding...daft. Mik's an artist who manages to hypnotise and terrorise in the way that no other does, all whilst making music to save souls, cause confusion and spread genuine hilarity along the way. Who else out there sings about love, mortality, invisible cloaks, Adidas Sambas, and plastic garden ornaments? His meandering, ad-hoc, flights of fancy are legendary – as is his partner in crime Jonny Flockton's exquisite guitar playing. He has a chameleon-like ability to bring melody, form and musicianship to the teetering chaos that looms over each performance. Information Source: The Village Butty | eventbrite
