Dirty Myke, on bass. With a name like “DIRTY” (wysiwyg) what you expect is pretty much what you get. Myke is an import from West Virginia. His musical influence range from Alice in Chains to Tesla. Myke is dedicated, his stage presence and command of his bass guitar offer nothing short of what THE REGS as a whole demands.

Bio
The Regs
Are a Miami based four piece band who have been playing together for over 10 years..and were one of the last bands to play the Orange Bowl Stadium.. It was the chance meeting of singer Little John and guitarist Scott Migone that would make something more than just music, this meeting would bring the dirt back to the South Florida rock scene..
The Players are:
Scott Migone/Guitar: Playing and writting music for over 20 years, Scott has always been the behind the scenes driving force in the areas of studio recording and the song-writing discipline. His modesty and experience allow for others to be creative in order to create the best music possible from the band.
Dirty Myke/Bass Guitar His influences ranging from Alice in Chains to the mighty power-house band Tesla allows for a very diverse sense of sound. Dedication to the art, and stage presence, commanding his bass guitar to leaving nothing short of what The Regs as a whole demands. Thick, meaty and best of all dirty!
Little John/Voices Born in California but raised in Alaska Little John began his music career in the Karaoke bars in South Florida where he learned to comand the stage and crowd. Voices, voices, with guitars and more voices. The two are truly great as individuals but together Little John and Scott have written some quality tunes, worthy of a good listen. A classic combination would be the only way to describe the working relationship of these two artists.
"I understand the importance of simplicity and learned it from my own heroes like Kurt Cobain and Scott Weiland".
Jaime Vila/Drummer A New York native with Latino blood in his viens, this drummer, percussionist with a complimenting voice to back up Little Johns vocals is the body and heartbeat of the band. Jaime could tell by the vibe of the music being written, that a simple rock and roll style drum formula would be the only way to keep this music timeless as not to be able to label the music as "Grunge", or "Heavy Metal". He says, this is rock and roll, so lets keep it simple and driven"
Who are the Regs and what do they want? In their own words,we are the neighborhood band thats going to be looking back at you from the cover of a Rolling Stone magazine.
