"Funky till you drop": SCREAMING MIKE! Honest, oldskool cross-over; influenced by rock, soul and funk. A very talented and potential band who plays mainly own material.
The members of Screaming Mike are young, but already quite experienced. In the past Screaming Mike shared stages with the well-known American band Dog Eat Dog, recorded a videoclip to go with their most populair song "King Of Beers", and worked together with a.o. Tessa Boomkamp (Marco Borsato), Jan Wessels (Herman Brood, Metropole Orchestra) and Femke Krone (Junkie XL) and Dog Eat Dog (USA).
Then, after a quite silent period, Screaming Mike made their 'come back' with the release of the awesome single "King Of Beers"; true funk/rock that especially attracks sk8te scenes, not only in their hometown but all over the country. And, abroad: an American label released the song on a compilation-CD and distributed it in more than 40 countries all over the world.
Currently Screaming Mike is preparing itself for the recording of their debut-album (with the temporarely working-title "Funky Till You Drop!"). This album will be released somewhere around spring/summer 2007. Until the album is a fact, the band will give a limited account of gigs where new songs will be performed, as well as the oldskool Screaming Mike-stuff. But, recording or performing: Screaming Mike is Keeping It Groovy!
