Riffmeister, songwriter, cultivator of epic beard – Mikey drops in with the rock!

Welcome to the show! We are delighted to welcome our lovely friend Mikey Demus to SchwangriLa. Guitarist and songwriter in rockmetalreggaeelectronica titans, Skindred, Mikey’s fullon riffing and experimental sound sculpting form a huge part of the band’s energetic assault on ears and eyes.
At the time of filming this, Mikey was midtour so his main guitar rig and board were in the back of a lorry somewhere. What better excuse to bring in Ye Olde Bag O’ Pedals from which Dan can concoct a board to spur a general chat on tone, playing and everything that goes with it?

Enjoy the episode!
