As frontman for bands like Drakulas and The Riverboat Gamblers, Mike Wiebe is known for a theatrical, no-holds-barred style of performance — famously, he once broke a rib and collapsed a lung while playing a gig at South by Southwest, but finished the set anyway.
But there’s more to Mike than being, in the words of the Austin Chronicle, a “shirt-wearing Iggy Pop.” He also has roots in comedy and filmmaking, and he seems, at any given time, to have about half a dozen projects in play.
In this installment of Something To Look Forward To, Mike walks us through all of that — along with digressions into the "Baptist-y microaggresions" of his childhood hometown, how death-metal bands allocate their corpse-paint budget, and the time he blew Springsteen a kiss. Enjoy.
