MICKE FROM SWEDEN MERCHANDISE

Micke from Sweden
This Ain´t the End

And in the red corner! The hailing voice and stomping piano beast from the north! Three foot five and weighing just 20 pounds! The one and only musical artist that knows all there is to know about the fine game of snooker! Proudly presenting the one man band, the tap-dancing pianoman, Mr One Punch, straight from the garden of Eden: Micke from Sweden!

Micke is also known as Micke Lohse, also known as the organplayer from swedens finest band Atomic Swing. He recorded his piano album with a handful of rat poison in the dark woods of Sweden. Produced by Janove Ottesen from Kaizers Orchestra, hoasted by the jazztrumpet of Sjur Miljeteig from The Leather Fashion, and a frequent stream of norwegian vagabond musicians coming and going.

Ever since I heard my father play songs by Hugo Wolf and Robert Schumann I knew that the stories I needed to tell were best accompanied with the sound of a piano. For me these songs and recordings are a very egoistic act of my own mind, although I´d love the idea of other people being able to here my songs, I must confess that they are mainly for my wife, my cat Ziggy, and my serial killer neighbour.

The future is unknown, as far as I´m concerned, and I kind of like it to stay that way. I´ve travelled a long way to get this far and I wouldn´t have the money to pay for a returnticket anyway. I`d rather die on the verge of success than on my neighbour`s door steps.

You don`t want to miss this guy.
