Mean Streets

Dan Aquilante of the New York Post reviewed The Streets, aka Mike Skinner’s Irving Plaza showcase on Tuesday (June 30) supporting his album ‘A Grand Don’t Come for Free’. Aquilante writes, “In the tight environs of Irving, this concert totally worked for Skinner. The fans were on his side and his energy was powerful enough to carry the performance over its shortcomings. But if Skinner is going to graduate to more cavernous halls here in the States where he can’t get as up-close as he did at Irving, he’s going to have to sharpen his stagecraft and learn to rap in the Queen’s English.”
