Shrewsbury, get ready for something completely different.On Saturday 12 December, one of the UK's most gloriously unpredictable underground live acts comes to LOOP Venue for a night of music, poetry, storytelling, surreal humour and the kind of audience interaction you simply can't rehearse.
🎤 Mik Artistik's Ego Trip are coming to LOOP.
If you love independent music, alternative gigs, great lyrics, fearless performers and live shows that don't fit neatly into a genre, this is one to get on your radar.
Wildly original and impossible to pigeonhole, Mik Artistik's Ego Trip have built a devoted following across the UK — including years as a much-loved Glastonbury tradition — with riotous performances that have become part of festival folklore.
At the centre is Mik Artistik: part poet, part storyteller, part comedian, part frontman and part accidental philosopher.
Alongside him, the razor-sharp Jonny Flockton brings the guitar firepower, weaving together rock, soul, funk, cosmic country and DIY punk into something entirely their own.
The result?
A gig that's funny, soulful, unpredictable, occasionally surreal and very, very alive.
Expect:
🎸 Brilliant live musicianship
🎤 Poetry, songs and storytelling
😂 Dark, daft and wonderfully surreal humour
🔥 Rock, soul, funk, country and punk influences
❤️ Unexpected moments of warmth and humanity
⚡ Audience interaction and glorious unpredictability
And there are some serious endorsements behind this madness.
Iggy Pop called Sweet Leaf of the North his favourite song of the last decade because “it's human, it's real and it has soul.”
BBC 6 Music's Gideon Coe called Mik Artistik's Ego Trip:
“The best live band I've seen all summer.”
🎄 A VERY DIFFERENT KIND OF CHRISTMAS NIGHT OUT
Forget the predictable December gig.
Come to LOOP in Shrewsbury and discover an act you won't be able to compare to anything else you've seen this year.
Whether you're already part of Shrewsbury's independent music scene, a regular LOOP gig-goer, a fan of alternative and roots music, or simply fancy discovering something completely new, Mik Artistik's Ego Trip is the sort of show you tell people about afterwards.
Come for the gig. Stay for the madness.
And leave wondering what on earth just happened.
