Miki Berenyi Trio are Miki Berenyi on vocals/guitar (Lush), Kevin ‘Moose’ McKillop on guitar (Moose) and Oliver Cherer (Gilroy Mere, Aircooled). The three musicians first worked together during Piroshka’s 2021 tour – Miki and Kevin being founder members, Oliver coming in on bass to replace Mick Conroy (Modern English) who had moved to the US.When the global pandemic made touring impossible, Miki spent the lockdown months writing her memoir, Fingers Crossed, released in 2022 to widespread acclaim. To provide some musical accompaniment for the string of book events and signings, Miki Berenyi Trio was formed.
The band has developed a momentum of its own, touring with the Wedding Present and Gang of Four and sold out London co-headline show with Aircooled. An album ‘Tripla’ was released in April garnering stellar reviews - "Rooted in shoegaze and dream pop, her new LP is tinged with sadness—but fueled by joy of playing again." - Pitchfork
“Dream-pop at its finest... a quilt of sophisticated future shoegaze... MB3 have laid down the gauntlet with this debut.” Louder Than War – 9/10 (Album of the Week)
“The beatbox and spacious synth/guitar textures lend Tripla greater sophistication than any regurgitated ‘shoegaze’, instead evoking mid-80s New Order’s retro-futurist pop, where elegant tunes and crisp tempos provide a stately platform for Berenyi’s forthright messaging... On all fronts, a nourishing listen.” MOJO – 4 stars ****
“Fiercely political but sonically spacious and crisply melodic, Tripla is consistently thrilling.” The Guardian
Miki (and band) return to Esquires after the sold out book+interview show at Esquires in May 2023.
