* MILO GREENE PLAY BIGGEST LONDON SHOW ON MAY 15TH * * AND THERE'S A NEW EP RELEASE, TOO... * West Coast softpop dreamers MILO GREENE are returning to Europe for a string of live soirees, including a tour with Cold War Kids, a trip to the seaside for The Great Escape and their largest London headline show so far at The Scala on May 15th. The fivesome, who first came to these shores in January for a handful of rapturously received introductory shows, will also be releasing the 'What's The Matter' EP on fierce panda on May 13th.
DHP PROMOTIONS PRESENT: MILO GREENE still consist of Robbie Arnett, Graham Fink, Andrew Heringer, Marlana Sheetz and Curtis Marrero. Curtis we know is the drummer on the drums. The other four-fifths of Milo Greene meanwhile ebb and flow around the stage playing guitars, percussion, keyboard, bass...basically whatever takes their fancy as each song unfurls. It sounds like some ghastly communal hoedown but in fact their terrific debut UK live shows of January captured a band locked in some (ch)eerily efficient gear-swapping trance. The 'What's The Matter' EP is the latest release to be tied in with Milo Greene's 'Milo Greene' album which was released earlier this year. The bruised, breezy title track gained them their first tickles at radio late last year, while of the three live recordings which make up the rest of the EP 'Don't You Give Up On Me' and 'Autumn Trees' are both bucolic live versions of Milo Greene album tracks and 'Staging Point' is also a live version, this time of a brand new song. As ever, while they might seem like classic troubadours of the West Coast rock dream on first half-listen, theres a dizzying edge to their creativity, a palpable sense that they are playing with your emotions. Throw in the macabre 'Moddison' film they made to accompany their album and you'll suspect that these people have seen the shadows beneath the West Coast sunset. Come feel the unsettling pop breeze here, here and there:
