If you’re looking for a smooth, seamless and stylistically beige journey across the house nation you’ll be disappointed. Likewise, if it’s head-nodding, rectum chasing, blokes-only tedium which flicks your switch you’ll again be left in the dark.
If, however, you’re prepared to free your mind and leap around your bedroom or hug that dancefloor (yeah that one over there) then the guy who, without exception, is the only chap to use the word mega without you wanting to clock him is your man: kraut rock, punk disco, acid house music without a home, electro-pop and any other leftfield oddity is his ticket.
Need some more clues? Well, he’s played alongside the likes of Andy Weatherall, Richard Fearless, Lauren Laverne and Erol Alkan; he was also proud of warming up for Gonzales and The Juan Maclean at his Shoreditch residency Mish Mash.
You might have heard him play at Bugged Out!, Homelands, V Festival, Glastonbury, Kill ‘em All Let God Sort It Out, Fabric or The Bestival. One more thing: He used to have the best show on London’s Kiss 100FM – guests included Miss Kittin, The Scissor Sisters, Air, Tiga and Goldfrapp – he also rocked Bestival FM’s Balearic Breakfast show this year which was a right royal knees-up (Radio Speedwagon is back on the airwaves with Legally Blind in Poland, on London Fields Radio).
With a load of festivals booked in for this summer you may well have your ears warmed and your feet primed for action, by holy decree of Rev Milo. However, if still you remain impervious to Milo’s box of sonic delights, please remember this. Someone whose favourite saying is ‘Keep on rocking in the free world’ can’t be all bad.
Catch Reverend Milo Speedwagon in fields and reputable discotheques here and there.
