Hello and welcome to the alternate (and significantly lamer) Mike Murphy page.
Why this name?
Well, it's my name, so it kinda made sense...
Do you play live?
I play live, with and without my faithful band. My first gig with the Mike Murphy Band is on the 10th of July. I stay within the Southwest London area- too lazy to move. London is ok, but i prefer the States, being American and all...
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it gets rid of the industry per se, which is not necessarily a bad thing. It just means all profit-driven bands will die and all people trying to make a living off of music will fall. I guess that's not so great... oh well, such is progress...
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
What do you mean still? No little label has asked me yet... I would sign, because if I get recognised as an artist, it will make becoming President in thirty years that bit easier...
Band History:
I've been playing geetar for about 4 or 5 years now, and I've been writing 'songs' for about as long. Not very good, but getting better.

I started playin sh*** at my school last couple of years, and it seemed to go down OK, so now im moving into 'venues', such as the illustrious West OneFour in sunny Fulham. More to follow. Oh Yeah...
Your influences?
Singing- Has to be Neil Young
Songwriting- David Gray (Yes, sad I know) and Bobby Dylan
Guitar playin- Eric Clapton/Jack Johnson
Soloing- Neil Young/Eric Clapton
Favorite spot?
My family's cabin in Lincoln, New Hampshire, USA
Equipment used:
Fender DG-12 Acoustic Geetar
Paul Reed Smith Santana SE v.1 Geetar
Sennheiser Mike-ro-phones
Fender Bassman (60w?) Amplifier
Anything else...?
Y'all won't like me/ the band unless you stop listening to pop and listen to folk like Bobby and Neil were singing long before my lifetime

Down with the man!
