Mike has always had many different interests, ranging from electronica to folk to prog rock to blues and back, but recently, the idiocy of the American government, general lonliness and Paris have driven him back to writing songs with lyrics and acoustic guitars. He's currently working under the pseudonym The Missing Six, which he hopes to turn into a band, either in London, or back in Philadelphia.
Before this, Mike decided to give into his longtime musical adversary, the Laptop. He recorded electronic dance-style music, under the name mikemurphy. He's been collaborating with his new companion, Avrino Casino, who he met at university. The result of the companionship, the Laptop and general insanity has been electronic / synth / dance / folk / electronic music. It's good, albeit different. Hope you enjoyed it.
Mike is also currently in a prog-funk-jam-rock band (of sorts) with Avrino Casino, along with Jonathan Liebembuk and Kirk Lozada. They're called Small Hands on Tuesdays. Every day of the week.
Previous Mike-related music excursions have inclued the mike murphy band, the mike murphy experience, our darker purpose, and the Neil Young Appreciation Society. The last one was the only one you should care about.Band/artist history

I like the new stuff, M(h)ike. I maintain that Stay There and The Way I See It are awesome songs.
What were the chords again?
:P. Oh yeah, and we should record SOONLY.
F(h)red.
I am just buzzing around on the acoustic charts and I like what I found of yours!
Wow I'm the first on the board. Tis rather good, I must say. I'm more than up for playing some drums in the studio if you wanna do some more recording before you leave this god-awful country.
Hey everyone out there in Internet-land - any questions or comments about the band, just email us at: true_limp@yahoo.com . Thanks!
