My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 7/6/2005
Band Website: newgranada.com/bands/zillionaire/zill.htm
Band Members: Heath Dupras (vocals, guitar, cowbell)

Michael Waksman (guitar, vocals, melodica)

Keith Ulrey (drums, vocals, shoes)

Bryan Bates (bass, sunny disposition)
Influences: "Our Band Could Be Your Life" - Michael Azerrad
Sounds Like: ..."the band is a sprawling culmination of college rock slowcore that's melodic, dissonant and ominous. ...TSLHBTD is the distillation of the flurry of sounds and styles bouncing through dorms during the '90s indie rock boom. I may have been in fourth grade in 1994, but Zillionaire is so precisely dated that I feel like I was there and spinning records at the local college station." - CMJ

"...a mixture of intensity and engaging tunes makes The Street Lights Have Been Turned Down a simmering gem." - Orlando Sentinel

"...their debut album, features smart, polished tunes with a unique difference. Instead of rock or pop, these guys present complex tunes that incorporate elements of progressive rock with odd hints of jazz. The lead track ("I Won't Let You Down [This Time]") is immediately peculiar and captivating." - Babysue
Record Label: New Granada Records
Type of Label: Indie
