There is a Japanese term: Mono no aware. It means basically, the sad beauty of seeing time pass - the aching awareness of impermanence. These are the days that we will return to one day in the future only in memories. How do we capture them? How could we possibly be able to fully appreciate them in the present? This project is our attempt to put time under glass.

The Midnight is a marriage between a songwriter from the Deep South and a producer from Denmark who both live in Los Angeles. This is our love song to our city and a testament to the weight these years can hold.

A collective of underground music created by billboard-charting producers Solar Slim & Richie Branson. For business inquiries, please contact us at info@otakugang.com

Mike Skinner & Murkage Dave - we don’t bless the weakness, we stress the peakness

Balladeering indie rock ‘n’ roll with a hint of motown - 

Currently touring “We are what we overcome” - “An evening of thoughtful, honest conversations and great music. At times raw and emotional, at others full of humour and an uplifting perspective.” (Audience review) 

Fresh from a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe and sold out preview shows, uplifting, anthemic tunes punctuate stories and conversation, shedding light on mental health with self-deprecating honesty and dark humour.

Matt takes a good look at how men in particular deal with Mental illness as he explores his own experiences with it, with plenty of time to continue the chat afterwards.

Matt will be joined on stage by the MLC band which on this occasion is Eileen Wright - Tenor Sax & Tin Whistle, Dan Byrne - Bass and Jo May - Percussion

Press
“At times this show is like a series of small polished TED talks on Mental Health, Parenting, Humanism and Love, but these are punctuated by poetic songs loaded with meaning and metaphor.” Nailed

here comes a comeback without the baggage of any former success or notoriety the first time around.

Success, bailiffs, political shenanigans and a stronger-than-ever-before marriage provide the backdrop to dirty, tuneful, upbeat and anthemic tunes performed solo or with a variety of musicians, currently including: 

Eileen Wright (saxophonist and long-time collaborator/mate of Matt’s - Karl & the Marx Brothers) 

Jo May (spoons expert and all round percussion virtuoso - Against the Grain, Stepling.)

Dan Byrne (bassist with an overtly understated exterior - The Standby Setting, Article 48.)

Greg Rawson (drummer and percussionist extraordinaire - Goddesses, One Bomb.)

"beautifully peculiar in their marriage of heartfelt anger and pleasantly insidious tunes" Boff Whalley (Chumbawamba/R2 magazine.)
