Mike TV's Beats For Beginners have been gradually gathering momentum since releasing Don't Fly Into The Sun 2005 (Faith & Hope Records) and riding the success of in your face single "Kill All DJs" to spread their sound from the confines of Manchester, England to the rest of the world. Their latest track, "Freaky Girl", builds upon the winning formula of 80s synth, delicate vocals, strong beats, and rough edges that are teeming with hints of psychedelia. Check out the tracks and see how many influences you can hear, it's what I like to call a Bowie-Barrett sandwich on rye. Manages to gain the respect and air time of not only Manchester airwaves but worldwide, BBC radio 2 - BBC 6 music even without currently been signed and bridge his sound of LCD Soundsystem and The Cure, mixing ’80s & ’60s songwriting sensibility(Floating in Space blog)



All beats for beginners stuff that is out is on itunes (just type beats for beginners in itunes search bar) anything elese is about to be released, have a browse on itunes the first 30 seconds are free, and if it floats your boat buy a track. My first record is called Don't Fly IntoThe Sun (2004 Faith & Hope Records) but my most popular stuff is an EP called Laser Beams For Eyes. Playing live with me I have the fantastic Crosby on bass guitar & Jay on drums, I'm your worst nightmare "A Bowie fan with sampler" . Ta mike x
