1) Milk was MC Milk Dee and his brother DJ Giz, they broke into show business in 1988 with the popular old school album What More Can I Say. Having MC Lyte for a sister worked to their advantage: under the name Audio Two, they gained distribution through Atlantic Recordings. As was the case with Licensed to Ill and many of the other rap albums of the same period, What More Can I Say has been heavily sampled over the years.

MC Milk Dee teamed up with DJ Giz again in 1990 to make I Don't Care the Album. At that time hip-hop was really undergoing a metamorphosis and gangster rap was the up- and-coming trend. MCs who had been successful in the late 1980s were now struggling to keep their fan base and recording contracts. MC Milk Dee did not allow fickle fans to dictate his style, and in 1994 he released Never Dated on Rick Rubin's Def American label. This release would put Milk back on top thanks in part to a duet, which featured none other than Adam Horovitz.

Back in 1998, during an Ego Trip magazine (Volume 4, Number 1) interview, Horovitz told the story behind his involvement and feelings about the song "Spam" he did with MC Milk. ' "I'm not sure if I like that record. I haven't heard it since we did it to be honest with you. I'd never met Milk before. Of Course, when that first Audio Two record was out it was huge so when I heard he wanted to do a record with me I was like, 'definitely!"' Combing Adrock's nasal sound with that of MC Milk's lead to the creation of a the rap song "Spam." With the exception of Beastie Boys fans, very few people paid any attention to the single.

Adrock in the same Ego Trip interview went on to talk about the commercial failure of that project. '"It was also a weird time because it was comin' out on Def American - Rick Rubin's label. And that wasn't something that I was happy about. I wanted Milk to blow up. I wished Milk sold billions and billions of records and I wished everybody in the world knew about Milk and he had everything he wanted. But in a way, I'm glad it didn't sell because of Rick Rubin, because I didn't feel like givin' him more money. It's unfortunate. I wish Milk was on a different record label and got more attention."'

Since the release of Never Dated, rap fans have not heard much from Milk. Autograph requests sent to the "Got Milk" fan club address listed in the liner notes of Never Dated were recently returned stamped "address no longer valid", so perhaps the show business days of Milk are over.

2) Milk are one of the best up and coming bands in Glasgow at the moment. Having only been together for a few months and played 4 gigs, this doesn't show whilst watching them perform a head-nodding, foot tapping treat of infectious music. A must-see live. Keep your eyes peeled for these guys.

4) MILK are an alternative psychedelic experience from the USA , they sound with their swirling groove like Sky Cries Mary meets Verve flow that almost gives way to a Brian Jonestown Massacre delicateness.

Following in the footsteps of Minneapolis' countless Rock and Roll successes, Pictures of Then have been hailed as "helping to further shape the new Minneapolis sound."(perfectporridge.com). Gaining clout as an "amazing" (Red Gorilla Music Fest) and "fresh" (Crossroads Music Fest) live act, Pictures of Then takes to the stage with an energy that is undeniable. "Spirited and buzzy...they swung with glam-pop abandon, channeling psychedelic folk-roots through howling indie-rock branches." (Mid-Point Music Festival) "On stage they are dramatic without being pretentious, having a polished and confident stage presence." (howwastheshow.com) This comes as no surprise since the band is continually touring, attracting an ever-growing fan base on the festival circuit and at concert venues and college campuses nationwide.

Their debut album Crushed By Lights was touted as "a sonic balance between reverence for the past and vision of the future," and helped the band secure a foothold on the national scene with featured accolades on MTV and college radio. Building on the success of their debut, the second album, And The Wicked Sea, "takes the aspects that made their music catch on from their debut album and expands on them, making for a punchy, Britpop sound that keeps you bouncing along." (Guest List Magazine) Said to have a "Flaming Lips meets Dr. Dog vibe," (Comfort Comes) their sophomore effort "rings out loud and proud with a host of songs filled with Midwestern charm at its finest. The record evokes a sound that calls to mind Summerteeth-era Wilco, or possibly what Modest Mouse might have sounded like had Isaac Brock been born in Minneapolis himself. And The Wicked Sea is equal parts heart-lifting balladry and upbeat indie-rock, all designed to encourage the listener to eat, drink, and make merry along with the band." (DryvetymeOnlyne)
It is only a matter of time before this band, firmly rooted in indie soil, becomes one of the few independents to branch out into mainstream success because Pictures of Then "does their thing and they do it well." (Guest List Magazine)
