God with an Ipod / Prozac Blues

An earthy fusion of bluegrass charm and old-skool hip-hop – MILK KAN’s third single is an infectious slice of irreverent humour that questions whether the devil really has the best tunes.

The track catapulted MK into a string of major league live shows supporting The Strokes at Hyde Park’s Wireless Festival, Babyshambles at East London’s Rhythm Factory, The Violent Femmes at Shepherds Bush Empire – as well as extensive UK tours supporting Hayseed Dixie and current punk-underground darlings The King Blues.

Blaggers, chancers, punks and urban poets – Milk Kan began as a two piece back at the end of 2003; as Scrappy Hood and Jimmy Blade picked up their mothers’ guitars and busked to the capital’s trains, tubes, and very-late night buses. Following the release of their bedroom-recorded debut in 2004 they swapped public transport busking for the Lower East Side of Manhattan; gigging at local open mike haunts before returning to London and signing a deal with PIAS Records. Late 2007 saw MK’s signing to emerging East London independent Blang – with their long-awaited debut album to be released in February 2009
