Upcoming Shows and Band Update

We have three new shows up on the calender for the coming months. The first is at the Webster Underground in Hartford where we'll be playing with our friends Crossing Rubicon at their EP Release Party. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased through us. On April 3rd, the Protomen return to the Heirloom Arts Theater in Danbury to present their epic saga of Mega Man. We got to play with them last year, and it was awesome to see their huge production and play for their crazy, devoted fans.

Finally on May 5th, we'll be back at the Webster Theater opening for Progressive Rock legends Jim Matheos and John Arch of Fates Warning. Tickets are $18 and can also be purchased through the band.

As you know, we've been busy writing new material for our second album. We have a plethora of new material, and can't wait for you guys to hear it! If you want to hear a sneak preview, come out to these shows where we'll be playing most of them for the first time. We hope to begin recording in the next few months.

Nightmare on Main St. 2 Rescheduled!

Hey Guys, We were so bummed to have to cancel the Nightmare on Main St. 2 show back on October 30th due to the freak snowstorm. But now, we're happy to announce that we have rescheduled the show for Friday December 30th! If you never got to wear your costume this year, don't put away just yet! We're planning on doing all the shenanigans we had planned for October 30th! What a way to bring in the new year!

Can't wait to see you there!

Opening for Fair To Midland, Periphery, Scale The Summit on Apr. 1st!

Yesterday we were able to confirm that we will indeed be on the bill at the Webster Underground on April 1st in Hartford, CT.

We're all really stoked about this show, especially me! Since Doug got me into Periphery back in October, I've been listening to these guys non-stop. I'm really looking forward to sharing the stage with them as well as Scale The Summit, who John and I saw back on the 2009 Progressive Nation Tour. To be honest, I'm not too familiar with Fair To Midland, but I'm gonna be checking them out this weekend.

Hope you'll join us for this amazing show. Drop us a line at fans@milemarkerzero.com for tickets.

Two Halloween Shows!!

I'm not gonna lie, I like playing dark, creepy music. Always have, always will. I was always drawn to music that has a sinister, moody vibe to it. In MMZ, the sound of the Mellotron has really helped me bring those feelings to the forefront of my sound, using lots of gothic strings and choir. In a great new documentary about the Mellotron entitled "Mellodrama" there's a section featuring Italian Horror directors, and they're use of the Mellotron in many of their soundtracks. Italians don't fool around when it comes to horror... or Pasta

This October, we'll be able to treat both our Connecticut and NYC audiences with Halloween shows on October 29th and 30th. On the 29th, we'll be back at the Heirloom Arts Theater for a full blown multi-media experience, which will definitely give you the total Halloween feel. Since Opeth won't be on tour this fall, make sure you make it down to one of these shows.

Great write-up in the New Haven Advocate

A great supporter of the band, Dan Barry of the New Haven Advocate, wrote an awesome review of our last Heirloom Arts show. With a sound that’s been fine-tuned over the band’s seven-year lifespan, MMZ unleashed the biggest audio-visual performance I’ve ever seen from a local band.

New Fearless Video

Another video from our Fearless Music taping is now on our YouTube Channel. We ripped through an edited version of Reaping Tide at Crash Mansion in NYC last summer. It was before lunchtime that day and it's hard to shred in the morning... but sometimes you have to do what you've got to do =)

Check it out!

Summer 2010

It's been three years since we've played at Toad's Place and it was great to be back on the stage of the famous New Haven club. It's pretty cool walking through the halls downstairs and seeing the names of all the artists who've played there along with photos all over the walls of The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, James Taylor, U2..... Though we didn't go on until 11:30, our fans were so supportive, going nuts, headbanging and getting right up to the stage. We played two of our newest songs, Cemetery Road and Rhythm Child, that we've been demoing at Horizon Studios in West Haven.

We're looking forward to the release of Laceration as the next song on Rock Band. We promise that this one will be harder...though not as hard as some of the other ones coming...=)

Looking forward to seeing everyone at The Space!
