MIKE PARK
TO APPEAR ON “THE MIGHTY MORNING SHOW” WITH DICKY BARRETT ON INDIE 103.1 FM IN LOS ANGELES
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30;
“BIKE FOR PEACE” TOUR STORMS THROUGH THE WEST COAST
Currently in the midst of his “Bike For Peace” tour, singer/songwriter, musician and activist MIKE PARK will make an appearance this Friday, September 30 on “The Mighty Morning Show with Dicky Barrett” (of the The Mighty Mighty Bosstones) airing live on Indie 103.1 FM (7:00AM-10:00AM Pacific) in Los Angeles. Friday’s show will have a “cover song” theme and PARK will perform “(I’m Not Your) Stepping Stone,” originally popularized by the Monkees and later performed by punk legends the Sex Pistols and Minor Threat. To listen in live starting at 8:00AM Pacific, click the following link: http://www.indie1031.fm/listenlive.php. Later tomorrow night, PARK will perform live in Anaheim at Chain Reaction. He will return to the Los Angeles area for a Hollywood show at the Knitting Factory October 20.
For the “Bike For Peace” tour, PARK–along with a group of musicians including RANDY STROHMEYER of Finch, DAN POTTHAST of MU330, MATT EMBREE and STEVE CHOI of RX Bandits and JENNY CHOI of Sanawon–have been trekking down the coast via bicycle for a series of shows to raise $250,000 to build a youth center in San Jose, CA near PARK’s hometown. The traveling group of musicians camp near the beach most nights and perform impromptu acoustic sets for fans.
On the “Bike For Peace” tour–which began September 7–PARK is performing songs off his new solo album NORTH HANGOOK FALLING, just released on Sub City Records. Throughout the self-produced album, PARK–who is also the founder/operator of Asian Man Records–balances finely etched acoustic guitar and string arrangements and lyrics about politics, war and race relations with subtle melodies, which lend his songs extra dimension. NORTH HANGOOK FALLING and the “Bike For Peace” tour have already raised nearly $40,000 so far.
