Band
M.I.L.C.
Getting their start as a Grateful Dead tribute band in the highly creative music scene in late 1980s Ithaca, NY, M.I.L.C. retained their two-drummer, laid-back rock format as they began to perform their own music. Their creative rock improvisations presaged the best of the jam bands who would follow them in the 1990s.
As they continued to build a fan base by touring, they were signed to Megaforce Records, only to discover too late that their contract did not specify the record company would actually release a finished product. With their album sitting on a shelf, a dozen of their best songs contractually off-limits for other studio recordings, they recorded an independent CD, "This Is Where Me and the Wife Live." Many of the songs on this disc were indirect blasts at Megaforce and the band's management (in fact, they credited the album to the fictitious "Megadoosh" Records), but others were good, old M.I.L.C. at their best, rocking out about life, love, and everything in between.
