Mike Viola is certainly no stranger to The Lizard Lounge where his past shows have been epic. He is best known as singer, songwriter and musical architect of the Candy Butchers, a highly regarded pop-rock band from New York that recorded three critically-acclaimed albums for Sony, including 2003's fan-favorite Hang On Mike.

The success of the Candy Butchers led to multiple appearances on Late Night With Conan O'Brien and Last Call With Carson Daly. It also found the group touring alongside the likes of They Might Be Giants, Robyn Hitchcock, Sparklehorse, and Ivy.

His latest album, Lurch, is alive with the classic-pop euphoria and vivid storybook imagery that Viola's fans have come to treasure. Lurch has captured audiences internationally, thanks to tracks like album-opener "Maybe, Maybe Not" and first single "So Much Better."

Viola's songwriting and production can also be heard on Amanda Leigh, the forthcoming release by Mandy Moore, for whom he is the musical director.
