His latest is "Coney Island Wave" 12 original compositions recorded in Manhattan in 2011. He started his career by performing in the bars and rock clubs in New York, but it was with record labels in Paris that he released his first 3 CD's. Mike has been compared to Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello and Gene Vincent among others, but his songwriting style and voice have always been unique. Although his career has remained in the underground, he has continued to be a prolific songwriter sometimes commenting on current events with his songs such as; "Stimulus Baby", "Katrina Comes Again", "7-11 on September 11th" and "Mother Nature's Nervous Breakdown." He also speaks about New York life, "King of Staten Island," and relationships, "You Make Love Like War," "Girlfriend Lost and Found." As a performer, he has toured Europe and the US with his band as well as a solo artist. Mike Rimbaud is also a painter who regularly exhibits his artwork. His subject mater includes subway scenes, cityscapes, dinosaurs, portraits of revolutionaries, burlesque and belly dancers. For more info please visit his site; www.mikerimbaud.com Discography: Coney Island Wave, 2011 Can't Judge a Song By It's Cover, 2011 (Mike covers other songwriters) Soundtrack For a Human Being, 2011 (an 18 song compilation, includes the brand new track, "One Percent Feeling Lonely") What Was I Thinking, 2010 Beast of Broadway , 2003 Graffiti Trees , 1997 DawnTown Project , 1995 Red Light , 1993 Funeral Lover , 1991 Mutiny in the Subway , 1990 "Lower East Side vet Mike Rimbaud took the name of his new band from a set of cute cartoon signs that reminded 50s commuters not to smoke or spit. But its that dingy, subterranean, through-the-grate kind of glow that informs his scruffy-voiced rock songs, invoking 70s Costello and Springsteen along with an improbable hint of Brazilthe Baiana guitar (a surfy-sounding electrified acoustic)." (Kamenetz) The Village Voice "Mike Rimbaud, in basic black, wielded an electric guitar in songs that were terse, telegraphic and propelled by urgent strumming. Mr. Rimbaud has a rocker's rasp in his voice, and he knows how to get the most power out of verses with few words. His songs crackle with New York's nervy paranoia." By JON PARELES The New York Times. Let's go underground... You're in a tunnel and there's no escape. That screeching noise you hear is no train; it's music, rock and roll. You feel upside-down, going downtown, but don't look in to the light! It's coming at you, fast on a local line. You don't need a metro card, because you just hopped the turnstile. Try to understand the voice from those speakers, since this next stop has a new rhythm and the strangers sitting across from you might start looking good. Hold on straphanger, because this is the dawn of Mike Rimbaud's SUBWAY SUN ............ ....Myspace Layouts.. at Pimp-My-Profile.com / ..Mic.. .. .. ............Myspace Layouts.. - ..Myspace Editor.. - ..Image Hosting.... -
