I've spent a good amount of my time attending local shows to support talented, unsigned bands. Within these past two years, there have been many bands that caught my eye, but none were quite like The Millenium. This Wisconsin-based band is comprised of five guys; Kyle Culver, Kyle "Feather" Featherstone, Matt Hasenmueller, Brandon Bruyette and Casey Sproatt. Their passion on the stage was enough to convince me that this band was unique and, when I found out that they were going back on tour, I knew I had to find out a little more about them.
On November 10, I had the chance to sit down with the band (minus Casey) before their show. We talked about their new music, the past year and what the rest of this year has in store for the boys. Although The Millenium kept their lips sealed on a specific date that fans would be hearing some of their new material, they did describe their new record as being "eclectic," "introspective," and "themselves."
Fans of The Millenium know that this past summer was huge for the boys. They headlined on The Sleepless Summer Tour, where they created a special free VIP experience for anyone who bought a ticket within the first week of sales. "We don't really like when bands charge high-priced VIP experience packages, especially at this level," Kyle Featherstone explained. "Our fans have already given us so much that we don't feel comfortable taking more than they want to give us."
Now that this tour is over, the boys plan on enjoying the holidays with their families and preparing for the New Year. "When we start the new year, you will be seeing new stuff from us," Matt explained. "We will be growing and we will be trying to do our best to reach more and more people and be a better band than we've ever been before."
