 Al Millan
the duke of earl and mack the knife sealed my
fate. it was dawn not doom that caused me to
catch a wave and get a guitar just to write
songs for my first true love a surfer girl. who
knew a tank could sing? i joined the breakers
and did hootenannies with the catholic girls,
saw how many roads a man walks down and got to
jonahs wail for some folk music.

When I was 14, I dreamt that I was nailing a gold coin into the
creaking main mast of a whaling ship, just like the captain in Moby
Dick. I awoke to the sound of my brothers playing their guitars.
This was the night I learned my first chords. In finally making this
record, I have reclaimed the gold coin. |
 Jeffrey Millan
Jeffrey’s first guitar was used as firewood on a
recent camping trip to the coast. He used the
strings to make a bow and arrow to find dinner.
He now wails with the best of them though. His
speakers (and the rest of the house) throb from
the base lines of his latest download samplings
from the net. His lyrics are direct and guitar
lines riveting, holding his own in the Millan
music gene pool. |

My father is a filthy
fisherman who raised me as well as he could. Of
all things I remember from childhood, the two
clearest memories are of him hosing off the
stink of fish guts from the garage floor and
playing the guitar with his stained hands.
Whenever I sing the first love song I ever
wrote, I smell fish - though it's not because of
my dad. more... |
 Mark Millan
Executive Producer, Mark Millan has been a
member of ASCAP since 1980. His first musical
break came in the form of a radio and TV jingle
when he was 22. He went on to build a career in
Advertising and Publishing, and currently owns a
Public Relations firm in California. He
continued to produce several groups along the
way including The Feel, The Money and has worked
closely with The Robots for many years.
When he’s not playing music Mark is busy fly
fishing, skiing, painting or laying on the sand
in a tropical zone somewhere. |

My first song, "Dark Destiny," (age 12) was a crossbreed of
Rumblefish and demonic, heavy metal-induced visions. I wrote my
second first song, "Revenge" at 20, after three separate cases of
food poisoning in June, 1993. These songs are beacons on shores to
which I hope never to return. |
