Who is Mike Pride?

Mike Pride is a New York City based singer/drummer/composer born on July 7. He is known for the large number of bands he plays with, and has a significant reputation in the indie music scene there. He has played at John Zorn's club, The Stone with Jesse Krakow, with whom he has also worked on a number of projects. Time Out NY says of one album featuring him "Pride has backed brainy jazz legend Anthony Braxton as well as political punks Millions of Dead Cops. Those influences and countless others speed by here, but the flow of ideas is so continuous that the album never feels like pastiche.". After relocating to New York City from his native Maine, he has become involved with many different projects and collaborated with Charlie Looker, Jamie Saft, Jon Irabagon, Moppa Elliott, and Peter Evans, among many others.
