MIK ARTISTIK’S EGO TRIP<br />

Mik Artistik’s Ego Trip are a strange and wonderful beast of a band, juggling a mix of stand up, rock, and performance art<br />

effortlessly... and even getting funky with it. Its an incredibly daft, joyful, and sometimes poignant affair, as Mik tumbles around<br />

the stage spluttering lyrics, occasionally tripping over leads whilst sprinkling straws all over the audience. Come along, sing, dance,<br />

laugh... you wont regret it<br />
