The birth of Myllhouse began back in 1999 with lead singer/rhythm guitarist David Bovyn. When the band first started, David broke his leg in a freak football accident. And spent the better half of 2001 in a hospital bed. Two years later, after a routine physical, he was told that while he was in the hospital for his leg, he contracted Hepatitis C. This was a harsh reality for the band because touring, and being a full time band would be virtually impossible. After nearly calling it quits, David got a call one afternoon from his doctor saying that he had actually gotten rid of the Hepatitis C virus. Unfortunately, his liver was 98% dead. Getting rid of Hepatitis C is like getting rid of AIDs, it's a one in over a million chance. Although he still has plenty of issues because of the poor state of his liver, this experience lead him to realize that life is short, and if your not doing what you love, why do anything at all? Since then, David has made Myllhouse his top priority, together with his best friends, and the best musicians he's ever surrounded himself with, Myllhouse is ready to take over the world. Mike Shimon plays bass for the band, and has incredible stage presence. He brings to his style, a mix of Nikki Sixx and a number of other metal bands, as well as playing technique. Mike brings the rock every night Myllhouse takes the stage. Richo Marquina is as animated of a drummer as humanly possible. Bringing his fun, punk rock personality to the band has been a great addition. He is the glue that holds the band together, and puts on a show even Dave Grohl would be proud of, while adding impeccable vocals to the mix. Dan Jagielo is the youngest member of Myllhouse, playing lead guitar and adding some youthful exuberance to the band. Dan's been playing for 7 years, and adds an incredible technical aspect to the music that has never been felt.
