Econoline by Mike West & Myshkin
"I worked together with Mike West on Econoline, sharing both writing and playing. Though we each had separate bands at home, we toured the world for years as a duo, with this slightly schizophrenic, stylistically ping-ponging, invariably crowd pleasing format."
“Ariel Angelo and Catch up, both urgent bluegrass- and cajun-based punk ditties, rank as some of the most inventive songs I’ve heard lately. West’s nod to traditional American music blends well with Myshkin’s tales of dysfunctional childhood and free-wheeling adulthood.” — Register Guard, Eugene OR

Myshkin's Ruby Warblers play thoughtful original songs that swing and pulse with a fiery string band energy. Myshkin writes eloquently about work, love, struggle and change from a fiercely egalitarian perspective, and sings with exceptional pathos and power. Jenny Q brings her cello, beats, harmonies, and Arab influence to the mix. The result is both eclectic and electric.
