Auckland
band, The Miltones (please note - just the one “L”) are releasing their first ever-commercial
single, Wildfire,
today Feb 10th, 2017. Wildfire was recorded in the magical walls of The Sitting Roomin Lyttleton with Ben
Edwards (Aldous Harding, Marlon Williams, Nadia Reid).
The mesmerizing voice of Milly
Tabak will be familiar to thousands of concertgoers to last
year’s shows of The
Mick Fleetwood Blues Band whom they supported.
Milly serves as The Miltones front-woman, with the supportive chops and solos
of lead guitarist, Liam
Pratt. Together the pair have been playing music together since
their teenage years, and now form the songwriting core within the
band. The group is completed with: Guy
Harrison on keys (Hollie
Smith), Chris
Marshall on bass (Miss
June) and Tom
Broome on drums (Esther
Stephens & The Means, Hollie Smith).
The music video was shot at the Tabak family farm in one of the remaining run
down glasshouses where the unkemptness and wild weeds references the story
behind the song. Wildfire is
Milly's tribute to the supportive selfless strength of some very big hearted
women that surrounded Milly and her family after the loss of Milly's father and
helped keep the family business afloat in their time of grief. Milly says
"This video was something I needed to do to honour pay tribute to their
beautiful hearts."

The Miltones’ music has
evolved over the years into a duel disposition of foot-stomping country blues
to soft rock ballads that reminds you of Americana folk rock of the 1970’s.
Milly’s unrestrained, free-spirited voice with an untouchable energy to her strikingly
raw vocal performance. With their nostalgia-inducing sound, they’ve gathered
audiences in both millennials to baby boomers and everyone in between.
Milly says, “We’re incredibly lucky. We have a healthy mix of people who get
into our music… We can play venues and have all the young bucks losing their
minds dancing and from nowhere, the oldies fit right in and have a shimmy… It’s
badass.”

release of WILDFIRE, The Miltones are playing a very special gig on the
same evening!
