Whether you know Mike Maimone from his keyboard heavy three-piece MUTTS or one of his many whisky-infused solo performances at the Hi-Hat Club, he’s become a household name for any self-respecting Midwestern music fan. As of late, he’s branched off into some “solo” endeavors under his own name, sometimes accompanied by just a trusty keyboard or a piano but often featuring a full band of bass, drums, horns, and more.
Today we’re happy to give you a sneak peek at his latest banger—out officially across all streaming platforms this Friday.
For fans of portmanteaus, Miller High Life, and picking up the check, “Garbougie” is a funky departure from Mike’s catalog of ballads and rockers. Featuring classic 808 beats and one of the best saxophone hooks since the “RumpShaker”, this song is a certifiable groove. Give it a spin below and flaunt your inner Garbougie side:
Come get Garbougie live and in-person with Mike at Lincoln Hall this Friday, February 8th with Bassel & the Supernaturals + Kavem & Dassit. The show is 18+ and will run you $12 if you buy tickets in advance or $15 the day of the show.
A limited number of physical tickets plus a free copy of Mike’s High Hat Club EP are avialable at mikemaimone.com
