L.A. punk band Mika Miko announced in October that their set at Austin’s Fun Fun Fun Fest (on November 8th) would be one of their last, but that they were in process of scheduling an official “last show” for their hometown at The Smell. They’ve booked three shows there for December 30th, December 31st and January 1st. The third, with Hello Astronaut Goodby Television, My Little Red Toe and OG Silver Daggers, is sold out, but you can still grab a ticket for the first show (openers TBA) and for the New Years Eve show, with Staring Problem, Ima Fucking Gymnist and DiGiTS. Mika Miko also previously mentioned a new 7″ in the works through PPM.

Tickets are on sale.
