Maklak (Mike Perkins) "Underground Understanding Tour" West Coast 09' press release:
MAKLAK "Undergound Understanding Tour" West Coast Fall 09'
With the constant reminder of a struggling economy it's a pleasant surprise to see Seattle based independent solo artist (with live support) "Maklak" is hitting the road on a "DIY" style tour of the west coast this fall. In 1997 Michael Perkins,"in order to find true self-expression", started writing and recording his own music in his parents garage and playing every instrument, naming the project Maklak. With extreme passion and dedication from an early age; Michael is a young man with the wisdom and experience. Besides teaching himself over 9 instruments, he also developed a unique writing style with strong dynamics and hard shifts in timing. By the age of 18 he had already: recorded 3 studio albums, played/booked/setup hundreds of concerts including one tour, received press and radio exposure, and much more. Nearing the rise of Maklak from a side-project to a full fledged act, Michael continued to push himself in every direction including: starting a successful music teaching business, getting endorsed by drum company "Thumper Custom drums", co-founding an indie label, opening for HR (Bad Brains), and even getting his name in the Guinness book of world records! After 13 years since the spawning of Maklak, Michael is vulnerably unleashing himself on the music scene in fierce way..."spreading the message of understanding through the medium of rock music", as he calls it. Maklak just finished the Northwest leg of his "Underground Understanding" tour, and is poised to go further on a full West coast tour of the US this fall. Waiting for him back in Seattle is studio time with legendary producer Jack Endino (Nirvana, Soundgarden) for first official debut album to be released. With Micheal and his live band's entertaining and high-energy performances; music fan's will want to check the band's tour schedule to see when Maklak will be stopping by your town! |
