The following year, continuing their work with Gigsmart Ireland, they embarked on a 19 show, 10 day tour covering the length and breath of Ireland, scoring a top 30 hit with "Whiskey For Me Tae/All You Need".〔http://www.irish-charts.com/showinterpret.asp?interpret=Mike+Got+Spiked〕 Landing a record contract with Irish label, "Conflict Of Interest Records", their debut album, "Caveat Emptor" was recorded from November 2004 to January 2005 in Creamy Sonic Studios in Dublin, Ireland, with American producer "Peter Slankster", following his work with Faith No More's "Roddy Bottum". The band enlisted legendary engineer "Eddie Schreyer" (System Of A Down, Alice In Chains) to master the album. In March 2005, Caveat Emptor was released and spent a number of weeks in the Irish Charts.〔http://www.irish-charts.com/showinterpret.asp?interpret=Mike+Got+Spiked〕 The band consequently secured a slot on 2005's "Van's Warped Tour" in Canada and shared the stage with some of the world's biggest rock bands, gaining a top 10 slot on the Warped Tour's official download chart. This led to a decision to trade Ireland's limited scene for the massive USA rock scene. Before their departure, the band recorded an EP, "Poetry And Prozak" with Gigsmart Ireland, leading to a music placement of the track "Come Dancing" on "The Ex-Files", a program shown on RTÉ, Ireland's national TV channel. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mike Got Spiked」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
