Ep 291 Brendan Dyer (Milly)
Our guest this episode is Brendon Dyer of LA band, Milly. Brendon was previously in an east coast band called Furnsss that eventually disbanded before he relocated to LA. Things came together relatively quickly for him there and it's been all gas since. I caught up with him in Seattle while the band was doing a tour with Militarie Gun but fret not, Milly will be back in Seattle for folks that would like to see the band. December 3 at Madame Lou's which is a great opportunity for Seattle folks to see the beloved Belltown venue off into the afterlife as it is slated to close before the end of the year. I hope you enjoy! Please consider supporting Couch Riffs on Patreon. https://patreon.com/couchriffs https://couchriffs.com https://millymusicgroup.com
