After receiving huge critical acclaim in the UK, including winning Muzik magazine’s Best New Artist award, Mike Skinner (a.k.a. The Streets) is headed to the US for first time ever. On Tuesday, The Streets debut album, Original Pirate Material, will be released Stateside and to celebrate, Mike will perform at Justice League in San Francisco. The very intimate and very brief tour will then hit LA’s Troubadour on Thursday and Chicago’s Double Door on Saturday, before wrapping with a two night stand at the Mercury Lounge in NYC on Sunday and Monday of next week.
