The all-girl L.A. punk crew Mika Miko are hitting the road with all-boy Austin punk crew The Strange Boys. I kind of imagine this as being like a classic middle-school dance -- girls on one side of the van, boys on the other -- but instead of jammin' some Whitney Houston and talking about Jonathan Taylor Thomas, they'll be jammin' their Killed by Death comps and talking about the new issue of Maximum Rock’n’Roll.
Together, they will hit the road to promote their new records -- Mika Miko's brand-new slab called We Be Xuxa (TMT Review) on PPM, and The Strange Boys' recently released debut, The Strange Boys... And Girls Club (TMT Review), available for purchase through In The Red.
The two will hit the road June 5 in Denton, Texas and end things on June 29 at Mika Miko's hometown spot, The Smell. So, look out for a van of pesky kids driving way too fast and throwing Slushies out the window, and then follow them to the gig
