A.V. Club Article
Well… since MICKEY wasn’t able to play that show at Ultra Lounge, their interview got scrapped. Instead.. A.V Club wrote this article:

OH HELLO!
MICKEY has been doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING during the whole month of September. HOW BORING.
But now I have some news to share.
1. They are doing an interview with AV Club tomorrow (Thursday).
2. Some of MICKEY (T.C. Starrchild, Dirty D, X-mas) are doing a G.G. Allin Halloween cover band.
3. October 13th — it’s a Thursday — Show with Jacuzzi Boys and some other dumb band at...

WHOA!
Mickey is heading back to the studio on Sunday…
Could they be recording a new album? A new single? An mp3?!?! WHAT COULD IT BE?!
And WTF with the lack of shows? Am I out of the loop? They were offered a show in Ann Arbor but no word on whether they’re doing it. Besides that…. ?!?!?!?!

still-single:
Just like how bubonic plague resurfaces every few years to kill a few unlucky people, only to grow dormant again, some folks think that a perfectly lucid way to spend their time would be to start a new glam band. I don’t think it’s a case of glam being resilient but I do think that there are a lot of unoriginal assholes cluttering up what would otherwise be a pretty nice cosmos....

Mickey
Ok it’s really hot out but don’t let that stop you from seeing some great stuff this weekend. We’ve got a couple bands on the Hozac label in town this weekend. First is Chicago glam punks Mickey whose debut Rock n’ Roll Dreamer just hit the racks. It’s a sleazy vision of excess that is part The Sweet, part Johnny Thunders, part Schlitz malt liquor and...

swamivisions:
Mac Blackout sneered and shook his way through a twenty minute set, sweating through two layers of clothing until he ended up shirtless and bellowing like a bat-shit crazy, young Belushi. Whereas the frontman of Chicago degenerates, Mickey, sounds like a snotty, but thoughtful dreamer on wax - on stage he seems way more like the type to break your nose before stealing your chick...
