Icelandic Mega-Music Star Mugison Performs at The Middle East
Icelandic Musician Mugison Performance at the Middle East – Described by Spin Magazine as the Icelandic Beck, Mugison is fresh off a European tour and a new album and will bring his show Sunday, March 14 to the The Middle East Restaurant & Nightclub (480 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA, 617.864.EAST) at 9 p.m. Doors open at 8 p.m. and admission is free.
When Tom Waits astutely pointed out that “no dog ever pissed on a moving car” Mugison must have been nodding in bemused agreement. Impulsively nomadic, creatively restless, Iceland's Mugison is the kind of post-modern dude that flows with the flux - one of those ants-in-the-pants artists that naturally negates stagnation and actively seeks out new challenges. Recognized at the Icelandic Music Awards, Mugison's album Mugimama Is This Monkey Music? was name best album and his song "Murr Murr" was named best song. CLASH MUSIC describes Mugison as, "An invigorating, electric listen...landing a devastating punch. Worth so much more than a fleeting investigation."
