?[Sweet Leaf of The North] my favourite song of the last decade? Iggy Pop
Mik Artistik?s Ego Trip are genuinely delightful, funny, frightening, and indefinable. Northern rock and roll stand-up comes close, and they?re back again for another fun filled evening at Foxlowe Arts Centre in Leek.
Every show is unique as Mik finds a new train of thought to ride. He connects, chats, breaks the wall between audience and band, creates chaos, plays air-crook lock (!?), all complimented by exquisite layers of rock, soul, funk, and punk created by Jonny Flockton on electric guitar, drum machine, and one of a number of well-heeled bass players. .
The band are regular Glastonbury favourites since their first appearance in 2007.
Many fans don?t consider Glastonbury has started until they?ve attended either Mik?s gig on the Wednesday afternoon at the Croissant Neuf Bandstand, or the chaos that reigns at Thursday evening?s Rocket Lounge gig. Both are now Glastonbury traditions for many fans.
