Artist History mike. was started in the late summer/early autumn of 2000. We started playing shows around the Twin Cities and greater MN in late December. In march of 2001, we recorded a demo, "Step 3 of 44". In April of 2001, our first drummer, Dave, left due to prior commitments, and was just recently married, congrats Dave! Mike joined mike. in late July of 2001. We played a bunch of shows, did some recordings, and then we lost Mike to his new job. We are currently searching for a new drummer, but in the mean time, our good friend Claudio is helping us. We just can't keep him forever.

Press Reviews Jason HellyesIcheated said we sound like a cross between Avail and early Jimmy Eat world. Then he recanted and said we sound like a cross between Enya and Venom. He is nuts.
