Mike and Joe in Class

The subject of class in relation to Mike and Joes, along with race, is also a very complex subject.  They definitely do not seem to be any sort of bias towards any social class and vice versa with the audience.  Its a little difficult to tell exactly what class the audience represents because of a wide variety but the band members mostly came from a middle/upper class situation.  They came from areas of the united states all the way from Washington to Pittsburg.  The audience that they play to is made up of a good portion of college students, so in that regard, the audience could come from anything from working class to upper class backgrounds.  And the class of the actual student will most likely follow suit, at least in the college years.  However, the band does also play many other types of shows in different clubs around the state including venues in Chicago, Peoria, and Bloomington.  Most of their shows are around college areas so they are not to expensive to get in and are a great time for anyone who is at least over 19 and in some places 21.
