Screaming Mimes Power Pop with a Brain

About Me

Described by the Enquirer as one of Cincinnati's "four must-see acts", Screaming Mimes delivers a unique brand of pop rock with infectious melodies, driving rhythms, heart on the sleeve & tongue in cheek lyrics. Formed in the Spring of 2002, the Mimes have been performing all over the Tri-State winning more fans at each performance. Citybeat declares Screaming Mimes "Power Pop with a brain and a sense of humor" and compares their material to the works of pyschodots and Roger Klug. Comprised of David Storm (guitar, vocals), Preston Price (bass, vocals), Randy Campbell (guitar, vocals) & Jim Farmer (drums), Screaming Mimes plan on taking their music to as many people as possible. Based on the response so far the world is ready for them.
