   About THE BILLIONAIRES
The Billionaires wrote there first album in Vineyard Haven, in the lower levels of Peacegate. Now they live and work in Los Angeles as train pilots and oil rigs builders. They also trane action hero's for stunt work and explosion specialties. Their debut album is available in most record stores and on itunes... the 4 males in the band came from the island you are floating on right now, drifting, the female came from Canada. They play instruments they made out of old knights armor and whale bones. There favorite food is REAL Ramen knoodles from little Tokyo, downtown LA. The music is rock pop indie love ... "For those of you with an indie pop hangover ‘The End of Summer Song’ is an Alka-seltzer that’ll clear away any post Polyphonic Spree nausea and restore your appetite. There’s about four songs going on at once, a chorus of voices, enough hooks for choir practice and breezy cheesy organ and about as much enthusiasm as you could ever want. These are songs about the transition into the adult world, on the cusp, retaining adolescent exuberance; they explode with energy its like Brian Wilson on hormones bursting with harmonies and ideas. They pass the vocals around like a bottle at a party; you get a sense of the group dynamic, the camaraderie, the closeness, the group. Los Campesinos are the closest comparator that I can think of, utter disregard for musical boundaries; ‘Pass the Bottle’ is like early Beastie Boys when they hadn’t shaken off a love of guitar rock. ‘N Y Cab’ is more like a number from a musical and ‘Butterflies’ a loose folk song – Viking Moses happy maybe – gentle melody with handclaps, quite lovely. ‘Cold Day’ cod electro-pop, sequencer, thin tribal drums, who cares about genres, anything goes. The last song ‘Confidence’ describes what is great about them, the confidence to do what they like, this song subverts everything that has gone before, a single female voice, simple instrumentation, it’s darker, they sing of ‘Lost innocence’ against guitars that grow weighty, distort and give way to solitary piano notes. A signifier for things to come? I hope so." -Amerikana UK

I'm with Alternative Reality Show; you guys definitely need to get down to the south. We can feed you grits and uh...show you how to take apart a car? Alright, there's not much other than the beaches and rednecks, but a show would benefit everyone. You get a tan and we get to rock.

a) you guys need to record a performance so I can at least pretend to see you live.
b) if we cover a song of yours, will you sue us?

I think the more intimate room really worked out, so much more fun! cheers
