Music


The Streets is a British rap/garage project from London, United Kingdom, led by Mike Skinner. Skinner has credited Johnny Drum Machine as the only other member of The Streets to have appeared on all the albums. The Streets regularly perform live, and have appeared at several major festivals. The current live line-up consists of Skinner, Kevin Mark Trail on backing vocals, Wayne Vibes on guitar and bass, Chris Brown on keyboards, Magic Mike on samplers and Johnny Drum Machine as drummer and musical director. Performance trademarks include crowd controlling "Go Low" (the whole audience drops to the floor) and "Go Moses" (audience parts down the middle, Skinner runs to the back and crowd surfs back to the stage) with variable success. The Streets started out as a group project but quickly became a one-man act as band members fell away. Skinner moved from Birmingham to Brixton to pursue his recording career, he then moved to Camden Town for three years before returning to Brixton. At the end of 2000, the Locked On label, who had success with The Artful Dodger featuring Craig David, agreed to release "Has It Come to This?" under the name The Streets.
