MILLIONS AND MILLIONS: SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.) will be rich with the sound of homegrown rock ’n’ roll riffs when Young Million headline an album-release show on Friday, March 8. Comprising siblings Kyran Million (guitar, vocals) and Michael Million (guitar), along with Erich Riedl (drums) and Nate Modisette (bass), the four-piece plays a pumped-up classic alt-rock sound. The show will commemorate the release of the band's debut full-length album, Chasing Threads.
“It feels amazing,” Michael Million said of the album release. “It’s such a big milestone for us to finally put our sound into the world, and with a full-length album nonetheless.” Recorded at Santa Barbara Sound Design, the record had some heavy hitters at the sound board. Mixed by Ryan Williams (Rage Against the Machine, Stone Temple Pilots) and mastered by Jon Davis (Led Zeppelin, The Killers, Foals), the record packs a big rock sound spiked with raw energy. “Jon is a legend. Great guy, and his reputation speaks for itself. … Ryan gave us an amazing mix that really helped add to the live feel of the record, which is what we were going for,” Michael Million said.
“We’re a rock band, and what you see is what you get,” Million added. “With the exception of vocals, the entire album was recorded live, so we want people to feel that when they hear it.”
