The original lineup of the Boston-based experimental hard rock band
MILLIGRAM will reunite for a September 26, 2009 performance at the Middle East Downstairs in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Also scheduled to appear are
SOLACE,
ROADSAW,
GOZU,
THROTTLEROD and
SUN GODS IN EXILE.
According to
Last.fm,
MILLIGRAM was formed in 1996 by ex-
ONLY LIVING WITNESS vocalist
Jonah Jenkins and guitarist
Darryl Shepard, a one-time member of both hardcore band
SLAPSHOT and stoner rock outfit
ROADSAW. Initially something of a side project for both of them, the band only became a going concern two years later when bassist
Bob Maloney and drummer
Zephan Courtney were drafted to record the
"Hello Motherfucker" debut. A sophomore album,
"This is Class War", followed in early 2002. Though they disbanded only a few months later, the fruits of
MILLIGRAM's final sessions were thankfully snapped up by
Small Stone Records and released posthumously in 2003.
