Micko & The Mellotronics
Original Artist
Actor, musician, and songwriter frontman 'Micko' was signed to Trent Reznor’s 'Nothing Records' in the early noughties and is already well known for his releases as ambient dance solo artiste The Bowling Green as well as for art-pop guitar albums under his own moniker. Micko also played a major role in the fictionalised glam rock movie Velvet Goldmine alongside Ewan MacGregor and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. He is also a member of charity-fundraising covers group The Spammed with Rat Scabies, Horace Panter and the late, great Neil Innes.
They've made return visits to the 100 Club in Oxford Street and earned multiple requests for support slots from acts as established as Evan Dando (Lemonheads), David Devant & His Spirit Wife, Blue Orchids, Sheep on Drugs, The Television Personalities and The Monochrome Set. Bringing a new dimension of sharp and economic post-punk/new wave attitude to the diverse Westmoreland songbook, they’ve been already been favourably compared to The Jam, Pil, Wire, XTC and Pulp as well as the mean, lean but undeniably powerful sound of Idles or Shame.
