Mishka

Mishka is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Black Uhuru, Willie Nelson, Kool A.D., Jimmy Buffett and Peter Tosh. Those roots explain a lot about how Mishka arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Beautiful Girls, Bobby Alu, Donavon Frankenreiter, Rebelution and Fortunate Youth, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Heather Nova, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 24 connections around Mishka, reaching back through Black Uhuru and forward to Heather Nova. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
