You just bring the beer!
Lord Mike, where have you gone? It has been over a year since the legendary final Lord Mike & The Dirty Calypsonians show at Metro. And people worldwide have inquired whether the former Deal’s Gone Bad singer – and world’s dirtiest Calypsonian – would ever sing again. Some were generally concerned for his mental state…but most wanted to regain a sense of hope. What new band could fill the void and guarantee a night of drink and general stupor?
Never fear.
For the past few months, “Lord” Mike has been secretly plotting his new act – with former members of the Calypsonians – and they call themselves THE CROMBIES!
Are you missing that live 2 Tone sound? You're in luck. The dance craze sound has returned to Chicago!
