My name is Mishka, I'm a singer/songwriter from NYC, most often compared to Tom Waits, Johnny Cash, Nick Cave, essentially anyone with a deep voice and a hangover. I've been living in a mini-van for the last eight months touring all over the US and Canada. I've played w/ a ton of bands like Broken Social Scene, Metric, Calexico, Dirtbombs, etc. Here's some recent press, from all over: "...a gruff chronicler of fuckups and fuckovers. He smothers the bullshit out of fractured folk" --Village Voice "...it's time Vegas discovered drunken anti-hero Mishka Shubaly, who writes lines like 'God, you're so beautiful, it's like you're fucking deformed.'" --Las Vegas Weekly "...brainy, smart-a** songs of disappointment and 'heartbreak and liver failure' chronicle the loser life in fresh, often hilarious fashion." --Westword, CO "Shubaly's voice ain't exactly pretty, but it's just right for his music: thickly melodic sing-along songs that yank at your heartstrings and dark furious rockers." --Time Out New York, NY Also, more than you ever wanted to know about me at www.mishkamusic.com
