Milkmoney

Band,
Rock and Alternative

Milkmoney was a 3 piece band formed in Boston in the early 1990's. They released 3 singles and one full length cd. Members Denise Monahan bass and vocals, Sean McCarthy guitar and Dean Styers drums were pioneers of the slowcore scene and were often known as sadcore. Singer/ bassist and lyricist Denise Monahan, was proud to be in, perhaps, the saddest band in the world. In an interview from 1994 she stated "So many bands are all about expressing anger, especially the current wave of female bands which I really respect, but I'm more comfortable with sadness and even if I try to write an angry song it always tuns out sad!" The band was known for their dramatic, mesmerizing live shows. They toured the east coast but broke up just prior to their first west coast tour. The band cited creative differences as the reason. Sean went on to form Helms, and continues to play and release music. Dean moved to Los Angeles and works as a professional graphic artist. Denise played music sporadically and did a spoken word recording on the Stargirl e.p. released on Tinuviel Sampson's Villa Viakulla label. She contributed lyrics and vocals to Lint's 1996 album Cold Scene. Following a few more projects, she left the music scene in the late 1990's.
