THE LOUSY HITCHHIKERS – MEDIA GUIDE
When City Vinyl went on hiatus, the world was left to wonder what would become of one rock’s most talentless and balding contributors. Would we all receive a reprieve from sophomoric lyrics, off-key vocals and sloppy musicianship? The answer is, unfortunately, no.
With his new band, The Lousy Hitchhikers, Mike K. is back with a tempered artistic vengeance not seen since the rise of another last-name-initialed superstar, Kenny G. In an effort to shield himself from criticism and embrace his insecurities as a musician and lyricist, he has chosen to hide behind the Lousy Hitchhikers moniker in hopes that the naïve masses will blame non-existent band members for many of the band’s shortcomings.
While this new band may consist solely of Mike K. and his trusty, yet dated, Boss BR-600 digital recorder, he has not given up on his trusty, yet dated, formula of poppy, punky, gritty and sometimes just plain awesomely horrific rock. With No Lyin’ on the Horizon, he may have finally crafted a demo EP worthy of almost an entire listen.
