Dead Milkmen - Metaphysical Graffiti - RSD 2023 - LP

When Dandrew began playing guitar, he listened to Dead Milkmen albums and tried to figure out the guitar parts. Then he started figuring out bass parts on the guitar. He fantasized about running into the band when he was in Philadelphia. 

“I would have these moments where I would be like, ‘Man, I really wish I was in this band. But I don't want anybody out of the band,’” Dandrew recalls. He began writing them letters, and struck up a pen pal friendship with Joe Jack Talcum. In 2004, following the untimely death of Dave Blood, Dandrew became the Milkmen’s new bass player—first for a series of benefit shows, and then on a permanent basis, including on the band’s reunion albums. 

The Giving Groove operates under a unique revenue model in which it pays artists 50 percent of all after-tax profit and donates the remaining 50 percent to a music-related charity of the artist’s choice. The Milkmen have chosen to direct that revenue to Rock to the Future, a 501(c)3 organization that equips Philadelphia youth with life skills to support current and lifelong well-being through free, student-driven music programs.
