Please join us to help keep the madman alive! Saturday 25 Oct 25 we are having the first all-dayer benefit gig to help cover the huge costs of Mike's treatment.
Top bands and DJs! Mike's treasure trove of videos!
Mike thinks £15 in advance is too much, we think it's too little, so we'll pass the hat too.
The coolest venue in London you don't know yet is waiving their fee.
From the man himself:
"Hey there — I’m a rock 'n' roll lifer, wild at heart and still kicking up noise in a genre we call trash. I’ve been howling, riffing, and smashing stages for decades, most infamously with The Cannibals — a band louder than a riot and dirtier than a dive bar floor. I never lived by the rules, never wanted to. Life’s always been loud, messy, and totally out of the box — just the way I like it.
But now, life threw me a curveball I can’t just scream my way through: prostate cancer. I’ve been fighting it with the same fire I brought to every stage, but now I need help to keep up the battle. The treatments are mounting up — and while I never asked for much in life, this is the time I gotta ask for something real.
Every pound, euro, or dollar you throw in is helping me keep living, creating, and causing mayhem — just like I always have. If you've ever danced in the front row, trashed a flat to one of our records, or believed in the spirit of raw, honest music — I’m asking you to back me now.
Let’s keep the amps buzzing.
Much trash love,
Mike Spenser
