Mik Artistik’s Ego Trip

‍

‍

Mik spouts lyrics, creates chaos, plays air-crook lock (!), and all-out entertains over the top of an exquisite layer of rock, soul, funk, and punk created by partner in crime Jonny Flockton on guitar.

The band delight and unnerve audiences across the country in equal measures, and have become one of the most interesting, unpredictable, and exciting acts that most people have ever witnessed.

Mik has an obsessive following built from appearances at some of the UK’s biggest festivals including Latitude, Festival No6, Wilderness, Beautiful Days, Boomtown, Beat Herder, and Bearded Theory. Before its demise Port Eliot Festival invited the band back year after year.

Karen Swan has been called an enigma, a cross between Lene Lovich and Friday Khalo, alt folk with a touch of avant-garde.

Her distinctive sweeping vocal style and haunting insightful songs transport the listener to her creative wonderland.

When accompanied on guitar by Jack Goodall they create a certain energy described as *Awesome! By Boris Pelekh of Gogol Bordello.

Karen is also an actor writer and clown and has performed worldwide.

Jack is an accomplished artist in his own right and has his own band Jack Goodall and the Kick and has toured extensively.

They have recently performed at Timber Festival 2021.
