Northern Hivemind Ritual

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.

About Me

Inspired by a Tubby Hayes record won by his mother in a fish-finger slogan competition in the late 60s, the jazz ju-ju has since flowed through Micks central nervous system and has recently lead him to team up with a group of like minded entities. Mick was a member of Pinski Zoo with his brother Tim, Jan, Steve, Karl and Tim in the 80s and after a long period of insanity has recently met, Ebi Gyoza, Zasai Gohan and Yasai Katsu, who have been featuring in several London establishments for some time. They decided to combine into the Northern Hivemind Ritual. As any musician knows, the road is long with many awaiting turns, that lead us to who knows where, and so we would like to thank: Eenie, Meenie, Macca, Racca,Ree, Ri, Domi Nacka,,Chika Lolla, Lolla Poppa, Om, Pom , Push. As Mr. Zappa once said, Jazz is not dead - it just smells funny..........Respect going out to Raw Purr, for the organisation of the live peace website http://www.livepeaceandearthsafe.com We were very happy to support you with one of our tracks.
