Milke: The Situation

A not-entirely-awful band added us on MySpace last week, and for that they should be saluted.

Most of the bands who try and make friends with us are, to be charitable, completely rubbish at what they do. If they were plumbers, Nick Knowles or that smug one off House Of Horrors would be all over them for their shoddy workmanship. Yet still they persist.

So it made a very pleasant surprise when a band who were actually quite good got in touch for a change. Their name is Milke. Their MySpace, including a few of their songs, is here.

They are sort-of electro and sort-of pop. Despite claims to the contrary they are not very indie.

You very much get the feeling that if they were able to lighten up a bit they would be absolutely brilliant, so we’re going to send them a crate of poppers, some not-boring clothing and a Chromeo CD and see if they can collate these things into a more joyous experience. Hurrah!
