Death to MiLkBabY! LONG LIVE MiLkBabY!


Jon Hain - News

Press release from Barry Bennett of MiLkBabY:

What is this my beloved?!? What are you saying??

I am saying that after 11 years, 5 albums, and thousands of miles on the van; MiLkBabY will cease to be an active band. Are you sad? I am too, a little; but I also feel liberated and excited.

2 New CDs !!


Jon Hain - News

This is turning out to be a busy spring. We've got brand new releases by MiLkBabY and Stephanie Rearick. Both are great recordings that show off two artists in their prime.

Both are doing shows to promote their new releases and will be touring later in the year.

Democracy, Rearick's fourth solo CD, is dark piano-driven experimental pop music. It is her most political work to date -- fiercely critical while shining rays of hope into the rubble of 21st century scorched-earth politics. Democracy was recorded and produced by... [read more]
