무더운 여름날에 들으면 참 좋을만한 쓰리우먼그룹.. 앨범은 싱글앨범들만 나와서 한버껀에 모아봄,,
간혹 Ultraviolet Sound 가 피쳐링을 했던게 보이던데.. 울트라바이올렛 사운드는 예전에 요기 소개했었던 Sarah Hudson 사라 허드슨의 새로운 프로젝트 이름이다. 물론 지금은 자삭해서 없긴하지만 다른 블로그를 검색해보면 많이 나올것이다.
예전에 스카이 스윗남처럼 즐겨들었던 처자인데 울트라바이올렛 사운드로 가서는 일렉트로닉삘이 너무짙은면도 있고 노래도 좋은게 거의 없어 나의 기대에 상당히 못미쳤었던 그룹이었다 ㅎㅎ...그쪽으로 가자고 꼬신넘이 누군지는 모르겠지만서두.. 그냥 하던가나 하지 왜 장르를 바꿔서,..;;
하여간 그건 그렇고 이녀석들은 신선한감은 쬐금 있긴한데 쬐금 많이 듣다보면 질릴듯한 분위기인 밴드.. 제대로 나오는 앨범은 아직 없는듯하다..2009년도 싱글도 나왔지만 이 2008년꺼 노래에 살짝쿵 꼽싸리 얹어 내놓은거고, 그래서 꼽싸리 싱글앨범에 몇곡 소개해보았다.. 아직 공식적으로 안나온 노래들은 유투브같은데 검색하면 나올 것이다..^^..

Millionaires started on the beautiful day of August 14th 2007. It was a quite sunny day, just like any other day in Huntington Beach, California; a perfect day to fly a medium-sized vibrant rainbow butterfly kite. But instead, Melissa and Allison Green (yes, they're sisters) started to become inquisitive about their new Apple desktop and decided to "fuck around" on Garageband. After two hours of intense physical labor filled with blood, sweat and piss, they came up with the first hit, 'I Like Money.' They decided that maybe since the Garageband loops and vocal recordings (aka yelling at the Apple desktop monitor since they had no recording system whatsoever) were SO AMAZING, they should make a music Myspace. They realized, upon creating the Myspace, that they did not have an extravagant name to go along with their new hit. The two quickly decided upon Millionaires because it tied into the name of the song, 'I Like Money.' Within hours after posting the first song, they received a shit load of online attention and within weeks, were already on the Myspace Top Artist Charts.
The day after they posted their first song, Dani Artaud (Melissa’s best friend) let herself into the Green's unlocked household, as usual, since it's part of her daily routine. Together as one, the three jammed to the new song. They were so inspired by their new creation of musical beauty, that they decided to make a new track in hopes that Baby Jesus would continue to hover over them. The three new band mates quickly shat out 'Hoe Down' within hours and posted it immediately that night. After that, their shit just took off.
Over the next few months, when they had enough songs to play a show, they met up with DJ Hyphy Crunk, who immediately took them under his great bountiful wing. After some intense training and tests of strength and merit, they decided they were ready to play some hardcore shows. Towards the end of November, they played their first show at The Joint and the next night played at The Roxy in Hollywood. Their good friend Mark Maxwell attended the first two shows and after watching the positive reactions from the fans, decided to spice up their music a little. He first remixed 'Alcohol', and the online frenzy began to grow even more. After that, they decided to make Mark their producer. Millionaires' fan base continued to grow at an alarming pace as did the popularity of Hyphy Crunk's nightclub, The Heist. The band and Hyphy Crunk decided they each needed to focus on their individual priorities and decided to split ways while Sarah Mclaughlin was playing in the background. From that point on, Mark Maxwell took a hold of the demon reigns of the flaming Millionaires caravan careening straight to hell. On this demented course towards fame, they got swooped up by the Artery Foundation, One Moment Management, and The Agency Group. Now the girls' paths were clear. They took their next step and made their first music video to their hit 'Alcohol.' After only 6 grueling months of being together, they landed a spot on Bamboozle Left '08. The girls took that stage and made it their bitch for the night. They were now ready to tackle the treacherous task of tour.
They set out on their first two week co-headlining tour in July ‘08 with nothing but themselves, a rental van and a pink bedpan. The tour was sold out almost every night. This is probably because of their irresistible attraction to complete negligence of the laws in these United States of America. During the tour, they were asked to perform live on MTV's TRL, which was probably the most horrifyingly terrific situation of their young lives. They also took that stage and proceeded to make it their bitch as well. During the course of this tour, they also released their first digital EP-"Bling Bling Bling" into online music stores worldwide. On their break from tour, the girls were featured on the cover of Bakatopia Magazine, had a article in the OC Weekly, did interviews on DJ Rosstar's Internet Radio show as well as Forbidden Radio, and played the LA Pre-Warped Tour Party with Shwayze and 3OH!3.
As of now, the girls are back at home in their hell holes constantly slaving over their next biggest hit. Who knows what controversial shenanigans these girls will come up with next!
