About Mike

Band Nickname: MCA

Mike Angeli (recently known as Captain America, no relation to Chris Evans although his physique and good looks indicate otherwise) is one of the founding members and current lead guitarist, part-time vocalist, and part-part-time drummer/percussionist of Smoove Series. He daylights as a Physical Education teacher/secret vigilante (possible muse for the song as well, but no such connection has been confirmed). His last known address is unknown and age is currently up for debate. His favorite beverage is free.

  1. Place one or two large ice cubes or an ice sphere in a rocks glass (also known as an Old Fashioned glass).
