Stevie Richards & Mike Meanstreetz Duo was formed in 2023 through a meeting of two kindred spirits who share a love of touring and playing wild, freewheeling, experimental improvised music.
Stevie and Mike will be touring Europe in July 2025 and are super pumped to be playing Mitäs Mitäs Mitäs Festival on Saturday July 5th with very special guest Jukka Nousiainen joining us on Guitar.
Stevie Richards is a DIY electronics and woodwind player and performer currently based in Naarm / Melbourne, Australia. Stevie has performed in Europe, United States, Mexico and Japan and is an active participant in the avant-garde / improvisation environment of Naarm / Melbourne. Stevie has performed in many past and ongoing ensembles worldwide playing noise, free jazz, ambient and electroacoustic music both as a soloist and through deliberate international collaboration.
STEVIE RICHARDS MUSIC AND INSTAGRAM
Mike Meanstreetz is a Los Angeles based multimedia artist whose non-traditional craft seeds new genres while reaping the fallen fruit of old. Auditory, visual, and word rarely appear in the singular, most often materialising in a tangle of synaesthesia. Sonically his practice primarily explores and expands upon both more metrical genre adjacent sensibilities and more fluid extended techniques via drum kit/percussion, musique concrete/electronic manipulation, and harmonically loaded electro-acoustic nylon MIDI triggered guitar. In these various modes he has performed throughout the US, Mexico and Europe.
