Jeff was bit by the music bug at an early age, and started playing drums at 6 years old, and hasn't looked back. A veteran of the Twin Cities music scene, Jeff was a founding member of Steel Orchid and Millennia. He has also played with The Farmers Daughters, The Tough Customers, and most recently Lipstick-N-Dynamite. Jeff plays Tama Starclassic Drums, and Sabian Cymbals. Jeff is excited to be a part of Mixtape Arcade and looks forward to seeing you all at a show.
Megan is an accomplished vocalist who has been performing throughout the Twin Cities since her formative years. Starting her first cover band in high school, she was able to learn how to captivate audiences at a young age. Drawing inspiration from power house vocalists like Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin, Megan is bound to get you listening. Megan uses a Boss VE-500 vocal effects pedal with a RODElink Performer kit wireless microphone to bring a fully immersive vocal experience to you, the home viewer. Megan is excited to be singing with Mixtape Arcade and she can't wait to play all of your favorites!
No one really knows where Mjyke came from. Some say it was a small town in Minnesota, others claim he emerged from a Great Lake. All that's known for sure is he's a Gen X kid whose past is an enigma, wrapped in a question, generously basted in mystery, and served piping hot for you on a stick with a splash of arcane & a bottle of Abstruse. At one time he studied music theory and composition but adopted a secret identity as a mild-mannered computer geek/management weasel. He is madly in love with the wise, kind and beautiful Queen Jûlié - last scion of the clan McGinn. He is grateful to live an idyllic life with her, their cat & two cockapoos. Mjyke plays Line 6 gear mainly because of their clever manuals, and yellow guitars because Sid McGinnis did & he's really cool. He used to like Strats, still does to be honest, but is way more into Ibanez these days. Mjyke is excited to play with Mixtape Arcade partly because he's a Gen X kid that loves New Wave, but mostly because the other kids in the band are absolute hoopy froods who know exactly where their towels are.
Nic comes from a musical family. He's been singing from a young age and playing bass in working bands for many years. He has shared the stage with some notable musicians and also many marvelous not-so-well known musicians (that deserve to be). He has been teaching elementary music since the mid 1990s, and enjoys sharing his passion for music with his students. Nic loves to see people having a good time at shows, and enjoys connecting with them. Nic plays fretless five string basses from NS Designs (Ned Steinberger), and uses Shure wireless, Darkglass Anagram, and Coda & Alclair in-ear monitors. Make sure you say "Hi" to Nic when you see him at a show, he'd love to meet you!
