Mika Miko

US first press 2024. Mika Miko were a band from Los Angeles from 2003-2010 playing a mix of danceable, post punk and late 1970s style power pop and street punk. Formed by sisters Jennifer and Jessie Clavin (who would later form Bleached) with high school friends Michelle Suarez, Jenna Thornhill and drummer Jon Erik Edrosa. After a 7” EP in 2004 (PPM), they signed to Kill Rock Stars in 2006 with new drummer Kate Hall to release ‘C.Y.S.L.A.B.F.’, which would see them tour throughout the US, Europe and Japan. Returning to PPM in 2007 to release their ‘666’ EP, and their second and final LP (with another new drummer, Seth Densham), ‘We Be XUXA’, in 2009, they disbanded in 2010. Mika Miko were highly influential and integral to the LA scene in the early and mid-Aughts surrounding the all ages club The Smell. This LP, available to independent retailers presented in a silk-screened cover with poster, is a ‘Best Of’ compilation of their previous work compiled by the band.
