It has been a lonnnnnnnnnnng time and yes we have broken up.
Sorry that we have not updated our page in forever. I am here to confirm that yes we are no more. There are a million reasons that this has happened and they are all cliche rock n roll 101 bullshit that we don't need to get into.
We would like to thank all of you who ever went to a show, got a CD and went on I Tunes and got a MP3. We are dead but the music is not.
On September 29th 2009 we dropped our final record "The Great Adventures of the Gold Red Rocket" for digital only r… Continue

- Millsted is breathing new air with their second full length album The
Great Adventures of the Gold Red Rocket. The band’s ambition and
sound have finally caught up to one another, having courted surf rock,
tinges of 60’s soul and dashed it with their controlled noise forte to
produce a sonically explosive record that will leave your central
nervous system heightened and your heart fluttering from its bombast.
The band has crafted its most mature work to date, etching lucid piano
driven triumphs “The New Japan”, all the while tearing
the skies open and searching for danceable lighting on tracks “ The
Gold Red Rocket” and “Coffins of Love”, all of which have been stamped
with crafty vocal sweets.
The band has set leaner melodies to meander over the potency of the
rhythm section’s new found less-is-more-is-better mentality. The
guitars on The Gold Red Rocket have also become a seamless one-two
punch of raucous hooks and twitch happy riffs, nothing short of
entertaining and clever.
The band’s sound has shifted in scope and dynamic as well as their
writing, echoing Sgt. Pepper-esque grandiose scheme incorporating horn
sections and focused conceptual ideas. If London Calling was the last
important rock record to be released, then The Gold Red Rocket will at
least make rock music viable once more. Nothing short of fresh and
clever, The Adventures of the Gold Red Rocket will leave you in awe,
it will leave you intrigued and it will leave you wanting more. Look
for the album release in the fall of 2009.

Afro-punk is a platform for the other Black experience, the one we don't see in our media. D.I.Y (Do It Yourself) is the foundation.
