You Know, One of These Days I Really Need to Get Out to Dayton, Ohio...

...if only to see the auteur behind the song in the video below do a gig.

In the meantime, please enjoy Mike Bankhead and his recently released single "Promise".



Which is as snazzy a piece of Guided by Voices influenced power pop as has crossed my desk in ages

And that video is an absolute hoot, which is a real bonus. How many of the movies excerpted therein can YOU identify?

In any event, Mike has a full length album due any moment; you can find out more about it and him at the link above.

You also can -- and should -- throw him a little coin by downloading his latest single over at Bandcamp HERE.

Hey Steve, Send me out on assignment to hear Mike play once the pandemic is over.

Thank you very much, Steve.

ALL visitors to Dayton very much welcome after the pandemic. We're awfully proud of our indie scene here, and it's as good as anywhere, although Guided By Voices and The Breeders certainly do cast a long shadow...

Hey, Steve! Thanks for the kind words! I'm the guy who put together that video for Mike Bankhead! Glad you enjoy it.
