Mishka + The Dirty Heads + Chris Velan March 16, 2009

Mishka's biography has an almost cinematic sweep. He spent most of his early life on a boat in the Caribbean, sailing from island to island with his seafaring parents and older sisters. A child of the islands, it was almost inevitable that he'd be drawn to reggae, Rastafari, and the natural mystic that inhabits his music and his soul. Above The Bones is his third album and the debut release for Matthew McConaughey's j.k. livin label.

With an extensive tour history under their belts and a solid fan base, The Dirty Heads have played with bands like 311, Matisyahu, Unwritten Law, Fishbone, Pepper, Slightly Stoopid, and many more. Some strategic music placements have also contributed to the growing awareness of the band including the Summer blockbuster hit movie and soundtrack for "Surf's Up" (Sony 2007). They were also featured in the television drama "Shark" staring James Woods (CBS 2007), Tony Hawk's "Downhill Jam" video game (Activision 2007), and the recent movie from Matthew McConaughey called "Surfer, Dude."
