Mikey French Fries recently served up an enigmatic set at the Middle East Upstairs opening for Drug Rug. The band fills the stage both literally and figuratively with an energy that the audience can’t help but find contagious.

Mikey Holland (Mean Creek, Movers and Shakers), frontman of the group was nice enough to sit down for a little interview. Be sure to check out his solo set at the Plough and Stars February 18.
