About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorMike In Mono has been the solo project of Mike Johnston (Plone, ZX Spectrum Orchestra, Modified Toy Orchestra) since 1995. Releases have included the notorious "Mashed Up" single on Halfeaten Records and the even more hard to get hold of "Stars & Stripes" EP on WarmCircuit. "Euro Eccentric" 7" single is out now on Static Caravan, with another single and his first solo album set to come out later this year.
