Mik Artistik's Ego Trip

A Leeds concert by Mik Artistik's Ego Trip, the project of poet, performer, artist and comedian Mik Artistik with guitarist Jonny Flockton, playing pop, rock and indie at the Brudenell Social Club.

Mik Artistik's Ego Trip centres on Mik Artistik, who works as a poet, performer, artist and comedian. Jonny Flockton plays guitar alongside, and a changing group of bass players completes the line-up. The music sits within pop, rock and indie, and on stage the performance combines spoken word, singing and comedy, with forceful guitar playing underpinning the sound.

Iggy Pop praised the song 'Sweet Leaf of the North'on NPR, calling it the song of the decade, and has featured the band regularly on his 6Music programme, Iggy Confidential. Their single 'Plastic Fox', which Iggy Pop has described as a classic, was featured on Channel 4's Random Acts. The band have released eleven albums and have played every Glastonbury since 2007, while also supporting Faust and Chas and Dave.

Brudenell Social Club, on Queen's Road in Burley, began as a working men's club and mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts, so the evening suits listeners of those styles.
