Band The Live Art: Sam Mickens' Ecstatic Showband & Revue
Posted by Dave Segal on Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 1:36 PM
Former Seattle singer/guitarist Sam Mickens (the Dead Science, Parenthetical Girls auxiliary member) has a new musical plaything happening in his new home of New York City. With Sam Mickens' Ecstatic Showband & Revue, he's obviously going for a more accessible, traditional sound—a refined brand of retro soul pop without a trace of irony (or is there? With Mickens, it's never easy to fully decipher his intentions).
It wouldn't surprise me if Sam Mickens' Ecstatic Showband & Revue attained a Mayer Hawthorne-like level of success. Their frontman has the sort of charisma, vocal suppleness, and matinee-idol looks to pull it off.

I didn't mean to denigrate Sam or his art with my previous comment. I think he makes beautiful music. Perhaps the joke is on me.
