Myke Mazzei and The Mod Villains

Myke has been writing and performing in Southern Ontario since 1998. Drawing from Neil Young's sense of melody and chord structure, and Elliott Smith's brooding subject matter, audiences have been alternately charmed and rocked by the songs.

Both solo, and with The Mod Villains, Myke gives every performance every bit of his energy-- why not play like it's the last show you'll ever do?

2006's packed Toronto concert with fellow jazz and folk musicians was highly regarded as a turning point in Myke's career, and in the Winter of 2007, Myke Mazzei and The Mod Villains began rehearsals for touring their native country.

His band clearly and triumphantly displays their influences, jazz leads and occasional forays into dance-rock beats complementing folk anthems like "Nobody's Saviour" and "The Hollow Tree", and fusing together into a dreamy soundcollage for "On Loneliness".

Myke Mazzei and The Mod Villains promise and deliver excellent songs and passionate performances on stage, and are all extremely personable off stage.
