   About The Miles
I like to think of The Miles as a blistering and fiery cosmic flame streaking through the night sky at warp 9.997, and me as a time-traveling pirate in a fresh, pink mini-skirt crying myself to sleep every night during the Reagan administration. Its this kind of oxymoronic relationship that patterns The Miles' elusive wit and musical boundary-bending. Not really, but kind of. It's like when you just listen to some songwriting rock band and think to yourself: "I grew up with some of the same records as these kids". So, it's like that and it's nicely done, and nowhere, ANYWHERE IN ANY MILES SONG WILL YOU HEAR "THINKING" AND "DRINKING" PLACED IN RHYME. GUARANTEED! Certain rules exist for a reason. Ok, some music writers have praised the songwriting as both unique AND quality. They have also praised the band for a sweet, tasteful delivery completely free of any "stage moves". Fake passion just looks stupid. Best way to know for yourself is to download some songs, come to a show, or just browse the pictures section while your boyfriend is sleeping. ~Sly Perkins

My loins stir whenever sir brocky itemizes. Jazz is like kryptonite to racing horses. Bet rock, bet samba. See Lena re dance lessons.

The Miles: is the name a reference to the open, expansive, indeed limitless qualities of your music, an art form that will transcend boundaries and have far-reaching effects, whilst at the same time evoking a single entity, honourable, steadfast, resolutely male, perhaps studious: a friend in times of need? And could the use of the definite article possibly indicate a rejection of “project”-based musical endeavours and a harking back to more traditional, down-home approach to music making?

The Miles, we raise our samplers in solemn salute.

Love, The Colomas
