Let us quench your thirst for rock!

About Me

Old Mil ... a band that was assembled by four college buddies to play frat parties, drink beer, and meet girls is now one of Milwaukee’s most viable and beloved cover bands. Who’d a thunk it?!
E-Rox, Slim, & Chimmy had good times and great music on their minds when they decided to form a college rock band, but little did they know the band would reunite after graduation and come back stronger than ever! After a couple of personnel changes through the years, the BearCave joined the "fraternity" in 2003, and the rock they brewed became that much more delicious.
Today, Old Mil has a stellar resume of 300+ performances at the best clubs & top festivals in the state (including repeat performances at Summerfest and State Fair), and Old Mil recently performed for 15,000 people at a major convention. There are no signs of this powerhouse quartet letting up. In 2006, Old Mil received a "Best of Milwaukee" nomination from Shepherd Express readers and won the award for "Cover Group of the Year" from Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI)!
So, next time you’re thirsty for some good times and great music, come see Old Mil ... it doesn’t get any better than this!
