TODAY:
May 21st, 2013 NEWS BREAK:
New "Interzona E.P. 2010" record presentation party with SEVEN WAYS OUT!. Sun, Feb 21st. 7PM!
Violin
POB: Riga, Latvia
DOB: January 24th
Mike? So hot right now. With his perfect pitch... his classical training... his washboard abs... but I digress.
Like his fellow band members, Mike started young; he was enrolled in a specialized music school in Latvia at age 5, received his first violin as a 6th birthday present, and went on to attend the Manhattan School of Music, where he performed both solo and with the MSM orchestra. A close friend of Oleg's since high school, Mike was approached to be a guest musician with Tzefa, and the two looked excitedly to a future full of rhythmic strumming and melodic accents. But, it was not to be: their dreams were dashed when the band suddenly broke up. Brokenhearted and convinced that he would never love... er, play out, again, Mike swore never to open himself to the pain of another collaborative effort, took a vow of celibacy, and moved to a monastery where he spent all day chanting and sitting cross-legged on a large thumbtack. Years passed. Oleg tried to convince Mike to come back and join the newly formed SWO, but it was all to no avail. Desperate, lonely, and longing for the sweet sound of violins, Oleg made a fervent offer to trade his only sister for Mike's return to the stage. Mike accepted, and they lived happily ever after.
(Shocking fact: Unlike some of the more far-out things written in our biographies, the above story is, for the most part, completely true.)
