MIKE McLAUGHLIN

PARTY CANNON

A little bit about Mike

With his trademark mix of Scottish wit and technical ferocity, Mike delivers the sonic backbone of Party Cannon’s chaotic, high-energy sound. Blending crushing precision with a sense of fun, his tone—“chunk, grit, fury”—is unmistakable.

Mike’s main stage weapon is his Seafoam Ormsby SX-7 with a custom bridge pickup and his personal touch of pink unicorn and rainbow racing stripes. Backing it up is his Tuxedo Black Goliath 7, decked with gold hardware and glow-in-the-dark stars. Playing in B Standard, his riffs drive Party Cannon’s signature mix of speed, slam, and mayhem.
