Animal Hospital
is often the solo entity of Kevin Micka. Live performances are commonly an in real time construction of music from scratch into arrangements adaptable for an ensemble of few or many musicians. Operating a collection of custom made electronics, effects, mixing consoles and delay units, Micka patiently constructs a layered nest of phrases and patterns of live percussion, guitar, scrapes, chimes, and textures. Woven together, the work references many familiar aspects of contemporary rock and pop music, but may often veer towards meticulously crafted ambient passages, or full-on improvisation.
Within Boston’s ever-shuffling musical universe, Animal Hospital has been a constant, the music versatile and flexible enough to share stages with the likes of The Jesus Lizard, Lambchop, Beirut, No Age, Os Mutantes, Codeine, Sō Percussion, and so many others.
