storm Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hi all, I`m a fan from Australia. My family own a record store, and I was researching the sounds of quite a few of the latest cd's, as I am going to be in pre-production soon for my own cd. So, amongst the White Stripes, James Morrison, Amy Winehouse etc etc, there was a Mika cd... I don't watch much tv and hardly ever bother with the charts, so I gotta say I didn't know who he was... but the cd was a new release and the cover was funky/hippy... just the way I like it (in fact my cover will be a little similar in style).... Now I can't get enough of Mika. I`m a fan for life. Very rarely does an artist hit me like this..... he is now up with Coldplay, Seal, Nina Simone, George Michael and a few others, on high rotation in my cd player etc. The thing I love the most, apart from the brilliant songwriting and voice, is that Mika is also very eclectic.... he hasn't been afraid to put songs from alot of different genres and sounds on one album.... which I`m sure his record company and others would have been scared about. Well done to Universal etc for having courage and faith. I can't believe he was rejected for two years.... fools. I love the artists he reminds me of in his songs.... Scissor Sisters (Love love me), Beatles (Mr Brown), Queen (Grace Kelly) etc etc.... . Oh, and the cd.... excellent production. Will definitely try and contact his producer/studio... probably too expensive for me of course, but will ask Hopefully will see Mika in Holland in August, as I`m gigging in Holland then too. Really hanging out to see Mika live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

storm Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 Thanks I can't seem to post in the concerts section atm (not approved yet??)... I just want to know if Mika is performing at the lowlands festival in Holland on the 17th etc of August... their site say he is, but the concert thread here says he'll be in Chelmsford. I'll be gigging in Holland in August (Almelo and Paradiso etc), and will only have that chance to see him if he is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just around the corner for me - in fact it's the place where I was born! [Edit] I've found it, it is this festival, isn't it? http://www.almelomeetsnashville.com/ It is said that the actual schedule for Lowlands is expected this week. Mika is still on the list, don't know if it is confirmed though. The V Festival is on the 18th & 19th of August, Lowlands is from 17-19 so if he comes he might be there on the 17th.

storm Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hi Blue, Yeah I`ll be performing on both days of the Almelo meets Nashville festival. It looks like there are some amazing musicians performing there... especially if you are into your guitar masters. Another gig I`m doing is at the Paradiso in Amsterdam on the 16th of August... http://www.sellaband.com has the details and tickets. Look forward to meeting you at either gig, or any of the others I`ll be doing while I`m in the Netherlands Love to you and those you love, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I will see what I can do, I'm on a holiday in that same week but you'll never know! About Mika in the Netherlands: Lowlands is a 3-day festival and he seems to be performing on the first day. A Lowlands magazine came with my newspaper today, see this thread: http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5718 And the time schedule can also be found on the Lowlands website: http://www.lowlands.nl/blokkenschema.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
