Living the American Nightmare

This is the story of Myke Hideous and the punk rock music industry.

"Living the American Nightmare" is telling the story of all struggling artists who hit middle age before hitting it big. The main focus of this story of heartbreak & disillusionment is Myke Hideous, a singer/songwriter/artist from New Jersey who struggles to create despite numerous pitfalls in his career. Myke made his bones in the gothic rock band, the Empire Hideous. His project was littered with money trouble and line-up changes it's entire existence. The height of Myke's career came when he was asked to join the reunited horror punk pioneers, the Misfits.
