Music News - The Miltones announce debut album and tour
24 May 2017 - 0 Comments
Starting out as a teenage duo, front woman Milly Tabak and lead guitarist Liam
Pratt toured the country as The Miltones, gaining friends in
far away places and sharing their earlier material such as the memorable Gypsy Queen and the more recent single Black
Dahlia, which served as the duo’s debut single in 2014.
In the band’s true down to earth spirit, Milly has hosted Miltones gigs in a
paddock at The Tabak family farm, which draws over 200 paying guests to the
rural outskirts of Auckland, where the band performs inside a purpose built
venue. The band has also shared the stage with supported singer-songwriter, Jamie Lawson,
and toured with The
Mick Fleetwood Blues Band on their last visit to New Zealand,
as well as shared stages with local musician friends, The Beths, Sal Valentine and
the Babyshakes, The
Leers and Miloux.
Milly reflected on the long road to get to this point, “Imagination has always
walked my mind to endless possibilities. One of these was recording an album,
touring the country, meeting new people and sharing a love of music. I am
incredibly excited, nervous and ecstatic to share what has been something I
have kept close to my soul and soared in my mind’s eye , since I was 14”.
Accomplished Lyttleton producer Ben
Edwards (Nadia Reid, Tami Nielson, Aldous Harding, Marlon Williams),
has just produced a self-titled debut album for The Miltones that reveals
the band’s rich love for 70’s American rock with influences from The Boss to
Fleetwood Mac, The Miltones are making themselves known through the fuzz
guitar and exquisite melody lines. Becoming champions in their own right, armed
by their unique sound with a bold, youthful, raw energy and a dark country,
70's rock, blues edge.
Now they’re hitting the road around New Zealand in support of their debut
album. Some shows will be with the full band including the amazing
talents of Guy
Harrison on keys (Hollie Smith), Chris Marshall on
bass (Miss June) and Tom
Broome on drums (Esther Stephens & The Means, Hollie Smith)
and *the trio shows will be Milly, Liam and Guy.
In whatever formation they appear, they create an infectious fiery energy on
stage in a knee slappin’, foot stompin’, booty shakin’
kinda
way.
