M.I.C. ( Canada / China )











M.I.C. has been , is, and always will be, a band on a mission. Since, its conception as a Melodic RockPunk/Pop outfit in China in 2004, no high or low has determed this band from pushing the limits. Armed with radio friendly hooks and an obvious 70's influence, M.I.C. has been labelled by Rock United.com as a band " Out to conquer the world" M.I.C. has often been compared to band such as Cheap Trick, Thin Lizzy, Keith Richards, AC/DC, and even Green day.
 In a world over-saturated with wannable bands, however there are several things that set M.I.C. apart from the rest.
  One of the most notable is that no matter what style, tempo, or raw dirty sound the band produces, there is always that feel-good vive in  every song.
 In the face of constant line-up and demographic changes, M.I.C. has  racked up a long list of healthy accomplishments.
Live performances have been broadcast to millions across China and considerable radio airplay has been beamed across the globe. Album reviews have been widely circulated in Chinese and European publications, and countless webzines around the  world have carried the banner of M.I.C. On the live scene, M.I.C. has rocked everything from small clubs to stadiums, including the Internatioanl Tour Music Festival in China, followed by headining the East  Chengdu Music Festival and a few shows in Japan 2012.
After tearing up the music scene in China for eight years, band leader and songwriter, Yvon Serre, returned to his native Canada in April of 2012. Anticipating hard challenges back home, he returned with 20 new songs in his arsenal and hit the tarmac  running.  He wasted no time in recruiting old band mates from the Hasrry Straight Band ; Emilio, and Silvio. Now, looking to the future, this veteran lineup is now charged-up and ready to release MIC's fifth album titled " 5th Avenue".
  The new line-up boasts new members - Emilio Meleca on drums ( Skup TRacer/Scarecrow), Dennis Papadatos on bass ( The Carrera, Liberty Silver, Natalie Cole, Loverboy, GOB, Biff Naked, Dixie Chicks, Paul Brandt, Randy Bachman ), Silvio Potito on keyboards ( Perfect Strangers), and Mike O' Neil on back-up vocals and guitar ( Wednesday). Mike had a #1 Hit in Canada with " Last Kiss" back  in 1974. The album also includes special guests : Steve Skingley, for two songs on bass ( Rick Emitt Band, Triumph ), and David Colin Burt on guitar for 3 songs ( CANO ), plus lyrics on the song " Serial Killer by John Wilde ( Bangalore Choir, Powerworld ).
Following its January release M.I.C. plans to take the music to the streets of their homeland as well as China, Japan, and parts of Europe....
