MICHAEL BERG: Lights Down


Myspace Editor
Pimp MySpace



Bootleg Theater Flyer June 17th



“Michael Berg -- A nocturnal liaison when the ghost of Nick Drake meets Jacques Brel’s phantom in an abandoned railway tavern on the outskirts of a fever dream. The night train pulls in and a young man gets off, he carries a guitar case and has Scott Walker’s first four albums on replay in his mind. He is greeted by the spirits who hand him an attaché case full of poems and occult directives; they wish him well then disappear. The young man departs on the next locomotive as a storm broods moodily in the east.”

David J
LA, 2008

"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell."
