[DID NOT ATTEND: April 17, 2024] Mike / 454 / Niontay / El Cousteau
This one is embarrassing for me because I bought a ticket for this show thinking that Mike was somebody else.
I’ve wanted to try to see a few more rappers live–I really enjoyed Open Mike Eagle there’s a few alt-rappers who I like. One of them is DAVE, from England. Dave sold out TLA pretty quickly when he came two years ago. So when it was announced that MIKE was playing, I bought a ticket thinking that a) the show would sell out and b) that MIKE was DAVE.
I had never heard of Mike and didn’t know there was another rapper with an insanely common first name as his rap name. Obviously I should have confirmed that I wanted to see Dave not Mike, but I was caught up in the excitement.
Mike’s sound is pretty good although he’s a but of a mumbler. I still figured that I’d go until Girl in Red announced a show for the same night and there was no way I was missing Girl in Red with my daughter. (more…)
