“My name is Mickey Banks, and I seem to have become THE SONIC GYPSY…”

www.facebook.com/thesonicgypsy

Previously Lead Singer with seminal 90′s Rock band SCORPIO RISING, the genius behind the Worlds First SURFCORE Power Trio, the infamous JIMMY AND THE DESTROYERS and Bizarre Virtual Psychedelic Break Beat pioneers SHYLOH, is now back from behind enemy lines in Europe with a guitar, fuzz box and a new SONIC project… The Sonic Gypsy is performing LIVE DESTRUCTION on his life’s work (and the work of others), playing a solo set of bare bones electric psychedelic madness…

The self styled “Jesus of Rock N Roll From A Parallel Universe” now 48 years old, more insane than ever, has now relocated back to his spiritual home in the streets of South Manchester via adventures in London and Amsterdam on a continuing journey of self discovery / destruction, Mickey is now back on the road performing stripped down sonic rock n roll inspired by a real 21st century life of drugs, guitars, car crashes, gangsters, punk rock, broken bones, hearts and accidental mayhem. As far as he is concerned, he is the spokesman for the generation who don’t give a fuck what anyone any thinks of us anymore…

So, if your idea of a good night includes: witnessing the joyous one-man destruction of the glorious sonic history of the electric guitar with the spirit of Howlin Wolf, Dick Dale, MC5, The Velvet Underground, Bo Diddley, The Doors, The Stooges, Hendrix, Neil Young, Motorhead, Black Flag, Muddy Waters accompanied by a wild, dark stream of consciousness and gleefully blasted through a screaming psychedelic jet engine and home made Mississippi Stomp Box, or slowly twisted over the event horizon of a black hole by a stoned, dangerously friendly time traveller who, in a parallel universe probably IS the Jesus of Rock N Roll.. and can almost certainly read your mind… you have found what you are looking for…

The Sonic Gypsy is now performing new brand new songs and streams of consciousness and tearing the history of rock n roll down to its dirty bare bones continuing the revolutionary sonic blueprint of The Destroyers with a stunning new brand new solo project.. for the first time in 20+ years will be performing a bare bones set of songs including new material and some of Scorpio Rising’s virtually unheard darkest masterpieces from both the critically acclaimed PIG SYMPHONY, and songs from the lost album BRUTAL DELUXE..

Come and say hello on Facebook, and follow the random musings, bizarre adventures of a GENUINE Sonic Gypsy.. But read the disclaimer first.. The Sonic Gypsy is Fast, Loud, and Dangerous to know…

The Sonic Gypsy Mickey Banks, NW UK, Britain (UK)
