A Million Years's Profile

A Million Years are a Brooklyn-based four piece who are making music for your grey matter. Stimulated by the intellectualism and sonic experimentation of bands like Radiohead, Spoon and Wilco, they strive to create a world of smart, brooding characters wandering around in our digitized soundscape.

Their debut full-length album, Mischief Maker, is being released in August 2010 and was produced by Shannon Ferguson of the band Longwave. On the record, A Million Years wear their love of guitar-driven indie-rock on their sleeve. Mischief Maker also touches on sonic elements found in electronic music, using drum machines alongside real drums and synthesizers alongside the guitars and bass to create a sound that is dense but also feels organic.

Formed in early 2007, A Million Years began as a sort of revolving door with an ever changing list of band members hashing out the songs born in Keith Madden’s (vocals/guitar) bedroom. Andrew Samaha (bass/vocals), Andrew Vanette (drums/vocals) and Nick Werber (guitar/vocals) later joined to create a collective of passionate, music-obsessed workaholics. During his stint as a touring guitarist in both Pin Me Down (with Russell Lissack of Bloc Party) and Longwave, Keith was introduced to Ferguson who also produced the band’s first EP, Incandescent, in 2009.

A Million Years has toured extensively throughout the east coast, as well as in venues allaround New York City including Bowery Ballroom, Highline Ballroom, Pianos, The Studio @ Webster Hall, and The Mercury Lounge, and have been receiving airplay on NYC’s WRXP. They are preparing for a national tour to support their upcoming release.
