Mike Milligan and The Altar Boyz describe their unique sound as
"Texas Blues with Louisiana Attitude". This is what happened when they combined their ethnic mixture of original sounds.
Front man / Lead singer, Mike Milligan. former front man for "DELTA ROUX", brings to the group powerful vocals, often compared to Junior Medlow, and a unique harp style that is definately his own. A veteran musician who has displayed his talents all over Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington State, Oregon, California, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, South Dakota and Western Europe.
"Less is more" Lead guitarist Scott Unzicker, although the baby of the Boyz, holds his own with these veteran musicians.
The upside down and backwards bass player Leland Parks is half of the "Solid as a rock" rhythm section that powers this unit.
On drums Dr. Dave Novak completes the rhythm section, and is the hammer that drives the large solid, steady and true sound of the band.
Since coming together as a performing unit in 2005, Mike Milligan and The Altar Boyz have refined their sound while playing venues in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, San Antonio, Corpus Christi,Victoria, San Angelo, Alpine their hometown of Austin and all points in between.
