Release Notes:
Hot on the heels of their Dec 2008 top 10 Indie Chart hit (God with an Ipod) comes the long anticipated debut album from MILK KAN, an earthy fusion of bluegrass, old-skool hip-hop and late 70's punk with respectful nods to the Ramones, Beastie Boys and Woody Guthrie storytelling. Their critically acclaimed debut 'Bling Bling Baby' - which hit 13 in the independent charts in Dec 2005 attracted national airplay and support from BBC luminaries Steve Lamacq, Jonathan Ross, Mark Radcliffe and Chris Moyles catapulted MK into a string ofmajor league live shows in 2006 & 2007 supporting The Stroke sat Hyde Park's Wireless Festival, Babyshambles at East London's Rhythm Factory, The Violent Femmes at Shepherds Bush Empire - as well as extensive UK tours supporting Hayseed Dixie and current punk-underground darlings The King Blues.Blaggers, chancers, punks and urban poets - Milk Kan began as a two piece back at the end of 2003; as Scrappy Hood and Jimmy Blade picked up their mothers' guitars and busked to the capital's trains, tubes, and very-late night buses. Following the release of their bedroom-recorded debut in 2004 they swapped public transport busking for the Lower East Side of Manhattan; gigging at local open mike haunts before returning to London and signing a single deal with PIAS Records. Late2007 saw MK's signing to emerging East London independent Blang ?with their long-awaited debut album finally recorded in 2008 after 2 hard years on the road.
