2.19.08 - Milf Tribute

For those of you that unfortunately don't know the band Milf was an incredible power trio that hailed from Buffalo N.Y. from the early to mid 90's. Their powerful yet unique sound centered on layered guitars, reverbed soaked vocals and creative rhythms. What made milf so fascinating and unique was the fact that despite a layered, distortion filled backdrop, they were still able to create incredibly catchy pop songs.
 
They released a couple of cassettes, a few 7 inches and two critically acclaimed but largely unnoticed full-lengths on Big Deal Records. The lack of wide spread interest has always been puzzling to most folks that are familiar with Milf.  Speculation has ranged from their chosen band name, bad studio production, sub-par promotion to even the fact that they were from Buffalo. Disgracefully, the Buffalo indie scene received very little respect and almost no attention from outside interests back in the mid-nineties.  An unfair and utterly ridiculous stigma that fifteen years later is just now STARTING to be lifted.  Sadly, most outsiders missed out on several brilliant bands that were playing Buffalo lofts, basements and clubs at that time….Milf was certainly on top of that list.  
 
Luckily Milf received wonderful support from their home town and they've always been protected and considered as one of OUR bands.  Their music has held the test of time wonderfully and in fact many of the "kids" that attended their shows eventually started bands and looked toward them as a strong influence. Local drummer, music journalist and all around good guy, Matt Barber, has always understood the effect Milf has had on music. He came up with the idea of paying homage to one of his favorite bands by producing a tribute record featuring several Buffalo bands that consider Milf an influence.  Several meetings and intense negotiations later…….BAM!!!  We're proud to announce, "Nothing Means Anything: Western New York Bands Pay Tribute To Milf." as the second Headless Actor release.
