Mika Miko
IM // UR: Is the reason why you chose to go for a punk sound because you're not formally trained in playing your instruments?The Mika Miko/Strange Boys tour played three gigs while in NYC. One happened June 13th at the Market Hotel (the other was Todd P's acoustic BBQ at Tilden Beach). The final one was June 14th at the Cake Shop with Silk Flowers and X-Ray Eyeballs. All pictures from that Manhattan show are below...Jenna from Mika Miko: We have been formally trained in punk music and we got christened at the Church of Satan.
How do you guys cope with touring? Who's period comes first (the dominant female always goes first and the rest align with hers)?Jenna: We cope with touring by trying to relax very deeply whenever we can, sometimes cracking each other's backs and drinking kava kava, and organizing the van so that everything is like a Tetris maze, leaving us the most room possible (not very much). Also Seth gets his period first, and it stinks.
We read somewhere that you're all pretty vinyl crazy; how does this make you feel about the whole blog evolution and what how that whole scene has affected music?
Jenna: I myself am uninterested in music blogs because I think most critics have shitty opinions. I like when people share music with people that they think no one has heard, because that's useful and sweet.

Speaking of vegan, Cake Shop has the vegan cupcakes but the MOONPIES (peanut butter, chocolate, or regular cream) are quite excellent!

It all looks like an ad campaign.

Nice to see that no one cares about anything worthwhile anymore.

Sad when the spambot's comment is the liveliest one on a BV board.
It's a poem:
Air Jordans
As all around the world,
we know Michael Jordan
is the super star in NBA.
His quotes
is one of my favorite ,
that is .

Yeah, the Doors are a lot worse than Wavves or Vivian Girls or anything that has come out of brooklyn. Lame.
