M.I.L.L.K. - The Brick Cellar, Gunnison, CO - April 12, 2014


[Gunnison, CO] This band needs a bigger stage. The second they started playing, strumming, hitting, blowing, etc. a happy glow fell over the room – heads were bobbing, shoulders swaying. Partiest happiest band I’ve seen in a long time. They are five guys and a girl - saxophone, keyboard, drums, trumpet, guitar, bass (substitute bassist tonight). Multiple band members sing. Classic sounding funk with some reggae-ska funk songs thrown in. They did at least one cover (“Tell Me Something Good”) but rumor says their keyboardist writes a lot of their songs. They make me want to know a whole lot more about funk. All are strong musicians and the synergy is there – big thick sound. And this was like their third gig ever - Gunnison’s awwwful lucky.
