Here is more non-offensive, approved information regarding the artist:
About Mishka Shubaly: After receiving an expensive MFA in Fiction from Columbia University in2002, Mishka Shubaly promptly realized hewas more interested in playing music in dive bars than writing. He moved into a Toyota minivan and toured non-stop. After some lean, hard years and a couple hundred thousand miles, hes become a cult favorite, opening nationally for comedy iconoclast Doug Stanhope, penning the soundtrack for The Unbookables documentary, headlining the Altercation Punk Comedy Tour and appearing on Warped Tour. He has shared the stage with artists like The Strokes, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and The Decemberists among others. In 2011, Shubaly began publishing a series of mini-memoirs via Amazon Kindle Singles (six #1 bestsellers, more than 200,000 copies sold in five different languages). Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos wrote the foreword for his collection. His account of getting shipwrecked for The Moth was broadcast nationally on NPR and around the world. Shubalys full-length memoir I Swear I'll Make itUpto You (Hachette) was published in 2016 andhas garnered praise from The Guardian, Publishers Weekly, GQ, Mens Journal, and Brooklyn Magazine. His roadwork145 shows in 5 countries last yearhas won him accolades from Portland, ORto New York to the UK. His writing workshop at Yale has been hailed by students astransformative.He provides the theme music for the Doug Stanhope Podcast which goes out to more than 1.5 million listeners.

If youve ever woken up with your head pounding in an unfamiliar place following a few days of blackout drinking and had to ask someone what time it was, what day it was and what town you were in, then you will definitely relate to the music of Mishka Shubaly. It's either laugh or cry, and this record will make you do both. Heartbreaking gutter genius.-Mark Lanegan
"Mishka Shubalys songs are the best kind of uncomfortable funny: inconvenient truths delivered with scorched-earth honesty, thumbnail sketches of unapologetic sexual politics mixed with rigorously stoic self-deprecation, and bittersweet but unsentimental candor delivered with a rough-as-guts voice and no-nonsense musical embellishments. -Jim Sclavunos, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
We all have heroes. I would never want to imagine Tom Waits going to therapy or Bukowski running a 10k. Inmyheart, Mishka Shubaly will always be spilled over the bar next tomeand playing on the jukebox ofmy soul.-Doug Stanhope
Guys a fuggin genius.-Joe Perry, Aerosmith
"As much pussy as you get, you don't know the first thing about women" -Cait O'Riordan, The Pogues
Mishkas lyrics make me feel lucky to be alive. Because if I werent, I couldnt experience just how much they make me want to die. Keith Buckley, Every Time I Die

A voice that isone part rusty-nail-studded tarmac toone part engine-oil-stained sandpaper-The Guardian
Theres no storyteller like Mishka Shubalyhardcore on every emotional level, he scares the bejezus out of me, especially when hes cracking me up. I Swear Ill Make It Up to You is a brilliantly toxic confession awash in booze, bodily fluids, and the shock of accidentally turning into a human being, against your will.- Rob Sheffield, ROLLING STONE

"The gruff and rough-voiced Shubaly is a chronicler of mankind's darkest impulses and failures, a guy with a ticket tohell and back" - Time Out New York
"A beaming ray of jet-black sunshine...- The Village Voice
