The Whips + Miki Fiki

From the venue:

Event Description

Fueled by stimulants, a love of funk music and the need to compensate for something, four life long friends set out to travel the country competing to embarrass each other and rope unsuspecting strangers into their escapades. Is this Tru TV’s Impractical Jokers? No this is The Whips! Hailing from the longitudinal center of the United States, The CEOs of Midwestern Funk continue to cruise the sweet freeways of the U.S. of A. to swap sweat (and more?) with fans of the high stakes funk pop filled with both hooks AND grooves so syncopated that they reset all clocks in a 40 mile radius. They also surf the waves of the web with their rapidly accumulating internet following gained from viral videos of their funkiest moments. Build a song? that was them! Call and response game? That was them! The Hindenburg disaster? no comment. Each member of The Whips have pledged their life, and the life of their first born child to the pursuit of high energy funk that makes your toes tingle and they have NO BACK UP PLAN! They’re so funky, sweaty and mildly famous online, so what are you waiting for? STREAM THEIR STUFF! BUY A TICKET! OUT OF CASH? SELL YOUR BONES! Join The Whips today and recruit two friends to be your own boss!
Miki Fiki is an alt-pop project by artist Ted Hartog, founded in 2017 in a ranch-style house in West Nashville. From the debut self-titled EP to the danceable single “Stranger”, Miki Fiki has been influenced by artists as varied as Anderson .Paak to Ben Folds. Jazz/funk instrumentals combine with lyric-heavy verses and expansive harmonies to create a sonic landscape of “indie-pop brilliance” (Lightning 100), a sound that has made fans and friends in sweat-soaked basement shows from Mobile, AL to Amsterdam, NY.
