Some quick notes: lead singer Andrew Wyatt has a rugged beard a la Ben Bridwell, and he accentuates it by wearing a Phantom of the Opera-style mask; it's sort of nerve-wracking to watch an entire band wearing aforesaid masks; I think the band needs to let the awesomeness of their song "Animal" sink in before playing any more weird, electro-infused reprises; "Sylvia" is a much more beautiful song than I had realized.
Lykke Li headlined the show, and I couldn't help suspecting she picked Miike as a headliner because of some shared Swedishness. Which leads to my next question: how do you pronounce "Miike"?

i've heard it pronounced on the radio -- yes, they're on the radio -- as one would say Mike, as in Bloomberg or Tyson. Now there's a collaboration I'd like to hear.
No, the name Miike as after Takashi Miike, the japanese film director.
So you pronounce it like 'mee-kay'
Did you ever saw "Eurotrip". There's the German girl called "Mieke". And this "Miike" is pronounced like that.
I just heard them say their own name on stage.. The first comment is correct. They just say "Mike".
