along choruses, screaming guitar solos, blaring brass hooks and wild
stage shows. With a mutual love of Reggae, Ska, Punk and a shared
political and social awareness.

Shows have varied from small DIY festivals, toilet venues and street
parties to 1000+ capacity arenas such as Rock City in Nottingham and
The Venue in Derby as well as some of UK’s biggest festivals including
Boomtown (three times), Eden, Y-Not (twice), Beatherder, Splendour
and Equinox.

“More of a movement than a band” – INFL

Shows are attended by people from all backgrounds, ages and musical
tastes, their fan base which they refer to as ‘Misfits’ (after their song
The Misfit) show great loyalty and come out regularly in force.

Jake Mehew is an mixed-media electronic artist based in Leeds, UK. Jake's work combines modular technologies, generative visual stimuli and spatial sound staging in seemingly infinite configurations, delivering bespoke performances for each public appearance. With an interest in improvisation, Jake seemingly conjours alien sonicscapes from his immersive musical/visual practices and technologies; these experiences are created to illicit sensations of flow, ecstacy and trance from an audience through combinations of polyrhythms/meters, timbre and repetition. Jake's artistic practices are informed by ideas from neuropsychology, ritualism in music, magic, and phenominological experience.

In his career, Jake has supported notable artists including Suzanne Ciani, Arooj Aftab, The Comet is Coming, Soccer 96, Sunda Arc, Matthew Halsall, Mdou Moctar, Mabe Fratti. Jake has been fortunate enough to be a recipient of the Richie Hawtin PhD scholarship at the University of Huddersfield, and the Arts Council England DYCP grant. As an advocate for immersive technology, Jake has created work (to be released 2024) for Berlin-based spatial audio studio MONOM, and has created festival experiences for D&B Audiotechnik. Jake's work exists both in art exhibitions, and clubs; In the past Jake has exhibited audio-visual art with Britten Pears Arts, Sage Gateshead, The Nottingham Contemporary, Leeds International Festival of Ideas in the UK, and his work has taken him to play notable dance festivals such as Houghton Festival, We Out Here, Superbooth, and with the Berlin Modular Society.

I was spawned on the Planet Epsilon Minor..... A strange child, I spent my spare time weaving baskets out of kitten snot, and throwing foam artichokes at passers by... This early 'brush with fame' served me well in my first faltering steps to becoming the 'artist' I am today... Quake beneath me brief mortals and bask in the majesty of my magnificent tentacles.....
