Artist Updates
From Canada’s windy north comes an effortless performer with stories to tell. Mirika effortlessly blends blues, hip hop, rock and cabaret into an indie pop tapestry. Wordy, rhythmic and a little bit kitsch, this acclaimed songwriter and multi-instrumentalist is a strikingly unique artist.
Three albums, five countries of residence and a whole lot of travel in between- Mirika is a true musical gypsy with songs that stay stuck in your head.

Holland My Love
Our second trip to Holland was supper fun and we played tourists while poor Mossuto stayed home sick in bed. We played some music, we saw bands, we wondered the streets, we went to a lot of music shops and partied like the best of them… But it was clear we were all ready to go [...]
You would never go barefoot in Paris
Paris had moments of amazing beauty, but I for one prefer raunch over romance! I would have given anything for a dirty rock n’ roll band and my bare feet in the grass. We walked clear across the city; with the intention of seeing some sights and then checking out some live music. It’s a city of Wine Bars and DJs and we [...]
Nintendos and Darmstad Flower Shops
I don’t know if it is possible to fall in love with a venue so immediately as I did with Das Blumen in Darmstad. The building is run by a collective of architects that aim to develop venues in beautiful buildings. Das Blumen was named after its former life as a flower store and featured [...]
!No Frankfurt No!
Everyone in Berlin advised us not to, but we set off to spend two nights in Frankfurt. The original plan was that we would drive to Munich with a stop for lunch in Dresden- but with the beer festival going on, accommodation was too dear. Frankfurt was a practical choice between Berlin and Paris and [...]
Berlin Berlin Berlin
We had this great idea that we would get up really early and drive to Berlin. We decided to rush straight there and oh how my heart yearned to stop in Dresden (the Dresden Dolls always make me think of my beloved old drummer (and current friend, KB). Alas we would be coming back through [...]
Day Trip in Amsterdam
How nice is it to say I had a ‘day trip to Amsterdam’. But that is exactly what happened. We checked in with the cops who sent us on a wild goose chase to town hall to get permits. Unfortunately the permit office closes by noon and so we just missed it. As we had [...]
Hurray for Utrecht
The next day we got ourselves organised and did some street performance. We are ‘musicians’ and by no means ‘professional buskers’. And since we play with a full kit and amps it is hard to find the best location. Although we found it early, we drove around for an hour looking for car access to [...]
Falling for Holland One Pretty Girl at a time
I slept all the way from the Hook of Holland Ferry to Utrecht and woke up to the prettiest little place ever. 99% of the people in Holland are strikingly beautiful, but Utrecht is a university town so I think our necks were hurting from checking people out by the time we got to our [...]
