Morrissey meets Mikel Erentxun at Cinco de Mayo show; collaboration in the future?

Last night I had the privilege of witnessing the meeting of Moz and Mikel Erentxun for the first time. For those that don't know Mikel, he is a popular Spanish artist who has covered such hits as "Everyday is like Sunday" and "There is a Light that never goes out" in Spanish. He is also a HUGE fan! Moz was at Mikel's LA show checking out the scene. I was very excited to see them both together and when I gathered enough courage I asked Moz for a picture which he graciously accepted. Then I asked him to confirm if he was touring this year and he said YES! He mentioned San Francisco and LA among other areas. Truly a great night!

THE MONDIES also writes: The Moz man himself was at the Mikel Erentxun concert Sunday "Cinco de Mayo" out of all places at Leonardos in Huntington Park. He was accompanied by two blonde ladies and a HANDFUL of bodyguards. Surprisingly enough but not so much so, a while back there were rumours that Morrissey had the intention of asking Mikel to open for him. Who knows maybe he still does...rumours of an upcoming tour...hmmm....maybe Morrissey is scoping out his opening act?? Either way Mikel gave a very good performance, although Morrissey seemed a bit pensive during the performance or somewhat pre-occupied.

Mr. Greives also writes: I work at a Spanish radio station in Los Angeles. Our in studio guest this morning was Mikel Erentxun, who owes his fame partly to his interpretation of "There is a Light..." In discussing his performance Sunday night at a local Los Angeles Night Club, Mikel mentioned that he was absolutely astounded to see the Mozzer in attendance. He then described a brief conversation the two exchanged where they discussed the possibilities of a collaboration for Mikel's upcoming album.

If anybody's interested, Mikel is performing this weekend at the El Rey... promises to be a good show.

He was about to start his Spanish version of "Everyday is like Sunday", when he told the crowd that he'd like to thank the author of the song for being there that night. I started jumping up and down, telling my friends that MORRISSEY was there, but they laughed. Then my boyfriend and a friend went to the restroom but soon came back to tell us that MOZ was there!!! We took a walk and surely, he was by the bar, with 2 blonde girls. Oh man, he was looking good, in his grey suit. The light clearly shinning on his grey, thinning hair. He looked so handsome. Twas the first time I ever saw him (other than at his concerts), so I was so excited, I think I shed some tears. He had a lot of security around him, so we weren't able to talk to him, but just being within 20 feet of him... unbelieveable!!!

    Ambitious-Outsiders.com was the first to bring this to light before Morrissey-Solo and Morrisseytour.com. I was overwhelmed with joy when I read that email I got from Chris early yesterday morning about Moz being in attendance at the Cinco de Mayo show.

      If Morrissey knew how bad Mikel lyrics to his covers are, maybe he wouldn't that supportive.

      This is a truly great site, but its remarkable the amount of utter speculation from fans......having read some comments about Morrissey being seen at some Costa Del Sol club singers concert, it doesn't always mean he's going to grace their stage.....maybe he just likes them......if he's seen bumping into Les Battersby will that mean a cameo appearance in Coronation Street.......mmmmmmmmmm.....let the guy enjoy his colourful life........on a separate note, how about the Maestro releasing his version of "God Save The Queen" in Jubilee Week......that would be well up his strasse

      I think mikel mikel erentxun's are quite good, compared to the currently horrible/horrible horrible musical scene in Spain, made of stupid pop puppets. And I find it really moving that a "contemporary" spanish pop singer KNOWS and LIKES Morrissey.

          From a gringo perspective:

          Mikel Erentxun makes some great alt-pop music. A Un Minuto De Ti is a wonderful track. His Mozz covers aren't up to the original standard, but then there's Golden Lights and That's Entertainment.
