Mike Skinner Is More MC In A ‘Cabaret’ Sense

Yoshi Kato of the Contra Costa Times reviewed The Streets show March 14th at Bimbo’s in San Francisco. Kato writes, “The strongest songs of the night were when The Streets were in dance music mode, with the trio stretching out on longer passages and Skinner and his MC/vocalist sidekick Kevin Mark Trail acting as omniscient Chorus figures. It was reminiscent of Tricky’s contributions on the first Massive Attack album or Maxi Jazz’s work with Faithless, in the sense that solid instrumental arrangements played against deft vocal presentations.”
