Mike TV were reborn again in 2008 after spending several years languishing under the phallic pseudonym of Pickled Dick. That first year saw the quirky quartet release a new 13 track S/T CD and tour with such bands as ZOLOF THE ROCK AND ROLL DESTROYER, ARMY OF FRESHMEN, USELESS ID, THE DICKIES, RANDOM HAND and GUTTERMOUTHas well as performing alongside stalwarts of the UK punk rock scene – THE KING BLUES and SONIC BOOM SIX.

2009 saw Mike TV headline the last ever show at London Astoria 2 and top the bill at the renowned Camden Underworld. In March the single ’LIE LOW, LILO’ was released via Banquet Records in the U.K as a download/limited CD along with a brand new music video and and extensive headline U.K tour taking in such towns as Norwich and Weston-Super-Mare. Mike TV then followed this up with a 20 date trek through China, including playing at China’s biggest Festival - MIDI FESTIVAL and climbing up a massive wall.

Tours with CJ RAMONE and Fat Wreck band THE FLATLINERS followed. Mike TV will endure their last headline tour of the year in order to promote this half baked idea throughout December, including a joint headline show at The Camden Underworld with homeless hobo ska-metal titans, RANDOM HAND.

Their self-titled album produced and recorded by underground super-producer Peter Miles (The King Blues / Sonic Boom Six / Captain Everything!) is out now in the UK on Banquet Records, Hotpot Music in China and in Japan via Thistime Records.
