I knew these people, these two people; they were in love with each other. The girl was very young about seventeen or eighteen, I guess, and the guy was quite a bit older. He was kinda raggedy and wild, and she was very beautiful. Y'know?
And together they turned everything into a kind of an adventure, and she liked that. Just an ordinary trip down to the grocery store was full of adventure. They were always laughing at stupid things. He liked to make her laugh. and they didn't much care for anything else, uh, cause all they wanted to do was be with each other. They were always together. and he uh he loved more than he ever thought possible. He couldnt stand being away from her, um, during the day when he went to work. So he quit, just to be home with her. And then he'd get another job when the money ran out... and then he'd quit again. But pretty soon she started to worry.
Her: About what?
Him: Money, I guess, not having enough, not knowing when the next cheque was coming in.
Her: Yep, I know that feeling.
Him: So, he started getting kind of torn inside.
We're two guys from very different backgrounds making music together. Andrew Friendly comes from the clubs, DJing, remixing, promoting, and has remixed people like Justice vs Simian, INXS, LFO, SL2, Darren Hayes, and We Have Band, travelled the world DJing, and releasing big club tracks. Ra, meanwhile, has been locked away, being a bit introverted, honing his skills, observations, lyrics and voice. We met through music, and clicked in an “two worlds colliding” kind of way, and now we feel like brothers on a mission. It's a balancing act.
"Not since Soulwax has there been such a fine tightrope balancing act between the two parallel dimensions of indie and dance and, while Milke sound nothing like the Belgian duo, their sensibility when it comes to mashing genres is right up their rue."- MusicOMH.com Sept 08
" If Michael Hutchence had lived to collaborate with Justice, he might have made a record like Love Get Out of My Way." - Guardian Band of the Day Jan 09
"In a year that will no doubt be flooded with instantly forgettable haircut bands, Milke's art pop will cement itself in 2009" - Art Rocker, New Blood March 09
"If you’ve resisted it’s wiry grip so far then let Milke convince you otherwise. With their outrageously slick R&B vocals and whirring 80’s synths, they’ll take you on a lustrous journey” – First Out, The Fly April 09
