“[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.

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.

They have achieved an enviable reputation at many of the major UK festivals, including Latitude, Bearded Theory, Beat Herder, Wilderness, and Beautiful Days.

BBC Radio 6Music have long been playing Mik’s music with Gideon Coe, Chris Hawkins, Shaun Keaveny and Tom Robinson all big fans of the band.

In early 2020 no-less than rock icon and 6Music presenter Iggy Pop endorsed Mik’s anthem of hope ‘Sweet Leaf of the North’ as his favourite song of the last DECADE! … In his words “… because it’s human, it’s real and it has soul“ 

“… a live show like no other ~ magnificent” Gideon Coe

+ LC Pumpkin: LC Pumpkin is a low-fidelity one-man band playing fuzz banjo while hitting pads of a sampler with a cork on the end of a metal arm clamped to the banjo. His self-released, no-budget home-recordings have been played on national radio by Tom Ravenscroft, Jarvis Cocker, Stuart Maconie and Gideon Coe.

“Warping keyboards, fuzz-banjo, blown-out drum machine beats and extremely catchy songwriting.”- Upset the Rhythm

“Lo-fi Brilliance.” – Brighton Noise

“Impulsive, eccentric and melodic… the crowd loved it.” – Brighton’s Finest
