About Me:
Milburn started out playing small gigs in front of friends, practising at drummer Joe Greens Grandma's house. The origin of their name comes from a bet with a friend whose surname was Milburn.
In 2002 they sold out the The Boardwalk twice and played at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, The Garage in London and Leadmill in Sheffield, while supporting Tony Wright's band Laika Dog and Cosmic Rough Riders.
The band's profile was raised immensely by several gigs with friends and contemporaries Arctic Monkeys, including a support slot with the Arctics at the time their "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" reached number one in the UK Singles Chart. NME also took interest, including them under the banner of New Yorkshire.
After releasing two limited singles, "Lipstick Lickin" and "Showroom", on their own label Free Construction, Milburn signed to Mercury Records in 2006. Their debut single for the label, "Send In the Boys", reached #22 in the UK Singles Chart in April 2006, and their debut album, Well Well Well, released on the 9 October 2006 on Mercury Records reached #32 in the UK Albums Chart.
Milburn will release their second album These Are The Facts on 24 September 2007 whilst releasing the first single from this album What Will You Do (When The Money Goes)? beforehand on 17 September. These Are The Facts was leaked on to private download website, in it's entirety on 3 September.
Milburn will promote this new album with a UK tour running from 13 September to 28 September ending with a hugely anticipated home-coming gig at The Leadmill in Sheffield on the last night of the tour which sold out in just 3 days.
This gig has wide-spread rumours attacthed to it which speculate that Matt Helders, the drummer from fellow Sheffield favourites 'Arctic Monkeys' (who joined them on stage during a previous gig at The Leadmill will repeat this, and join Milburn once again to play out their home crowd. Since this gig selling out, the band have announced a larger gig at the octagon in november. Milburn are what many belive one of the most underrated bands in recent years similar to their sheffield neighbours and friends the Arctic Monkeys with there quirky lyrics and great guitar rifts.
