Micah Trivia:
*His biggest pet peeve is being mistakenly called "Michael," even though when he was younger, he was often ashamed of his name and would identify himself as Michael when asked.
*He has asthma and has since he was a child, although he hasn't had an actual asthma attack in almost two years.
*His "best mate" is Tony.
*He and his brothers got the name "Micah and the Mullenese" after having a waiter who spoke very poor English. When asked where he was from, the waiter replied, "I am Lebanese," to which Saul, the youngest Mullen brother, piped, "Well, we are Mullenese." The rest was history.
*He writes the bulk of his band's material with his younger brother Joe and plays lead guitar. However, he can play every instrument his brothers can play, having taught them all.
*He shares an almost rabid appreciation of Godzilla movies with Tony.
*He gets terrible headaches at times, often brought on by stress.
*He appears very stuffy, but has a zany side - as evidenced by his frequent appearances at Lenny LaLa's, a karaoke club, with Tony.
*Even though many have said his music sounds Beatlesque, Micah hates the Beatles. Interestingly enough, he's quite a fan of rap music.
*He has a rose tattoo on his left forearm, in honor of his mother, whose name was Rose. Micah got it when he was very young and is ashamed of it now, which would be why he mainly wears long-sleeved shirts.
*He produces all of his own albums.
*He is very serious about his Christianity, but never pushy about it with others of different faiths.
*Though it isn't always apparent, Phoenix absolutely idolizes him. He even said in an interview a few years back, "I think Micah's awesome. I wanna be Micah when I grow up, man!"
*His greatest fear is falling. Interestingly, almost every album he's recorded has a song with 'Falling' or something similar in the title. In the music video for 'Stumble', he even sang the song on a (simulated) ledge. He says it was a form of therapy.
