Miike Snow is an indie electro-pop trio comprised of writer/producers Chris Karlsson, Pontus Winnberg, and Andrew Wyatt that debuted in 2009 on the label Downtown Records. Based in Stockholm, Sweden, Karlsson and Winnberg are best known as the production duo Bloodshy & Avant. As such, they worked with a range of international pop stars during the early 2000s, including Britney Spears, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, and Ms. Dynamite. Most notably, their production of Spears' 2004 chart-topping smash hit "Toxic" won a Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording in 2005. Based in New York City, Wyatt is a writer/producer who formerly collaborated in the groups Black Beetle and the A.M. with Joan Wasser and Michael Tighe, respectively. He's also an in-house producer for Downtown Records (Spank Rock, Amanda Blank) and a member of the band Fires of Rome, which made its full-length album debut with You Kingdom You (2009). Founded in 2007, Miike Snow brought the talents of the three together in one group, and the commercial debut single "Animal" was released on Downtown Records in 2009. A batch of promotional MP3s was also released and proved popular in the music blogosphere. Among this initial batch of MP3s were the songs "Animal" and "Burial," along with remixes of these songs by DJ Mehdi, Crookers, Benny Blanco, and Treasure Fingers; plus, there was a Miike Snow remix of the Vampire Weekend song "The Kids Don't Stand a Chance." The trio's full-length album debut was released later in the year on Downtown Records and the group departed for a North American tour. In 2012, they founded the indie label Ingrid with Lykke Li, Dungen, and Peter Bjorn and John, before releasing their second full-length Happy to You. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi
The Masquerade is a dark and intimate venue. Miike Snow was great there! The only thing that I did not like was that Andrew Wyatt (the lead singer) seemed to keep disappearing off stage. He was still singing but I have no idea where he went to!
Miike Snow put on one of the most engaging shows I've ever been to. They performed as if we were a crowd of thousands instead of just the few hundred that can fit into Heaven at Masq. If they're coming to your city, or anywhere near it, go see them.
This show blew us away! The band was even better live and the energy of the band and crowd were amazing!
This is the most AMAZING band I have ever seen! I have never danced so hard in my LIFE. I will be at there show in Dallas in June.
Great show, a lot mero techno than the actual CD but great none the less
I and my brother had to wait for 2 hours before the highlight band played. Then, we had to wait for another hour before Miike Snow played. In the beginning, Miike Snow couldn't performed to their best because the audio system was bad, the vocalist microphone was not loud enough, the place was too cramp so the sound bounced back, distorted. The several last songs were amazing and the lighting was awesome. I am a big fan of Miike Snow and I gave respect their effort in the poor venue. It would be a lot better if they played somewhere else that can accommodate their rich music.
Love, love, love! The use of masks, crazy lighting and incredible beats all came together to be an amazing show. I would recommend it to anyone.
