A Monster Named Hugo Releases “There’s a Ghost in the Voice” Michael Knott Tribute EP

Posted on by

You read that right – a six track ep of Knott covers, and they are all really good: “This is a personal tribute to Michael Knott from Hugo. Hugo constructed these renditions, recorded, mixed, and performed all the instrumentation, with the exception of Bill Skafish playing drums on Bubbles and Marie Thrasher singing on Hospital. It has Knott songs from Rocket and a Bomb, Aunt Bettys, Fluid, Life of David, and Brow Beats; unplugged alternative. They’re performed in different styles to give Knott fans a new take on their favorite songs. If you’re unfamiliar with Michael Knott, do yourself a favor and check these albums out. This is hopefully the first of a trilogy.”

Ryan Kennedy of Kennedy Cult Covers Michael Knott’s “Double”

Posted on by

Ryan Kennedy offers up the bizarre and awesome cover of Michael Knott’s “Double” embedded below. From Kennedy:

“Michael Knott is probably my single biggest musical influence. If you watch this video and wonder what amazing song I’m ruining, its called Double and it appears on the record Graceshaker by Mike’s band LSU. Do yourself a favour and look it up. It’s on Spotify kids, no worries. Thx to the Flavour crew & Film Kelly for the cool vid.”

Deni Gauthier’s Homage to Mike Knott

Posted on by

Always glad to hear any covers/tributes/homages/etc to Michael Knott. Got this note today from a Knott fan who is also a musician:

I’m a long time Knott fan, full time Canadian musician… I popped his lyrics from “This Is The Healing” in the bridge of a song on my latest album release, with Knott’s blessing.  It fit perfectly 🙂
Thought you might like to hear it!

You can hear the homage a little after the two minute mark, and it does fit perfectly. Also check out the rest of the album or other albums by Deni at this Bandcamp page. I’ll be getting this added to the discography page when I get a chance.
