Mickeys Kids- "sumsing, sumsing years '17-'19"



Hailing from Philadelphia, Mickeys Kids are a two piece electronic unit that could fall under the guise of "experimental", "techno", "noise", "lo-fi" and so on but they are more than that. There is definitely an enchanted disorder by way of telepathy that fills the minutes within "Sumsing, sumsing '17-'19". "Sumsing" is comprised of 14 tracks compiled from two years (2017-2019) worth of practice tapes. Secrets shared among two friends (and former neighbors) that got together often in the basement of "Basilton Studio" to record straight to boombox. Dan used a GFI pedal steel, Novation K Station and Korg Minipops while Kenny Basil used a Roland MC505, Yamaha RS7000, two distortion pedals and a Tascam 4-track. Dan runs the Strange Mono charity limited press cassette label while Kenny holes up in his recently purchased Pittsburgh home and makes oatmeal pancakes. 



"Mickeys Kids is a Philadelphia rhythmic noise project from two good boys. Mickeys Kids is a system for describing human behavior, oftentimes the most base and ugly behaviors."

“Any system for describing human behavior should be flexible enough to be extended indefinitely, and should also still contain meaning when reduced back to its fundamentals” - Robert Anton Wilson

"Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things." - Marvin Heemeyer

"No more Cops. Fuck Billionaires. RIP Marvin Heemeyer." - Dan and Kenny, Mickeys Kids
