About Me

Mike Park has kept himself busy over the last decade. Not only does he run Asian Man Records , but he has continued to pursue his love of music, playing both solo and with his bands (The Chinkees, The B. Lee Band, ex-Skankin Pickle), touring the US, Canada, England, Scotland, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Czech Republic, Luxembourg, and Switzerland. As well as organizing charity tours and events via his non-profit The Plea for Peace Foundation. In November 2003, he released a new set of acoustic songs called "For The Love of the Music". His follow up solo release titled "North Hangook Falling". came out in August of 2005.
From October of 2006 through January of 2008, Mike took time off to concentrate on other endeavors including raising a family, the PLEA FOR PEACE FOUNDATION, a novel, and of course music will always be by his side. This year Mike will again be on the road to play shows here and there and to record a new record. Keep checking back for further updates
