The Dead Milkmen are a punk band hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States that formed in 1983. The band have released ten studio albums since their debut in 1985, and are most known for their sardonic parodies of punk rock culture, and their 1988 breakthrough single “Punk Rock Girl”.

The satirical punk band began life as the home recording project of singer and guitarist Joe Genaro, and a friend of his from school called Garth. The pair came up with a fictional punk band called The Dead Milkmen, and began writing and recording cassette tapes of songs that were said to be written by this conceptual rock band. The project never really left Genaro’s bedroom but the duo wrote and recorded constantly until they reached college age, giving the budding guitarist an abundance of experience in writing tongue in cheek lyrics and jangly, three chord punk rock. However while Genaro left home to attend Philadelphia’s Temple University, Garth joined the United States Air Force. For the time being, The Dead Milkmen were, for lack of a better word, dead.

However, as many young musicians will tell you, there’s nowhere quite like university to find other young musicians, and through mutual friends Genaro met the future rhythm section of the band. Genaro started rehearsing with Dave Schulthise on the bass guitar and Dean Sabatino on the drums in 1981, and it took the trio a while to commit to it. They couldn’t get the band’s singer Rodney Linderman to commit to fronting the band until mere weeks before their first show in 1983, and after that the band immediately started making up for lost time. They played live all over the Philadelphia punk scene, were soon touring nationally and by 1985 they had signed to Restless Records, where they released their first album “Big Lizard In My Backyard”, the same year.

Since then the band have become one of the most beloved cult acts in punk rock, and for a genre that’s basically made up of them, that’s saying a lot. The group saw an influx of attention in 1987 when Jim Walewander, a Major League Baseball player, started talking the band up as his favourite band. The group followed this up with 1988’s “Beezlebubba” and its lead single “Punk Rock Girl”, one of the most deathless hits in American punk rock. Hilariously enough, the band secured a record deal that wasn’t just with a major label; it was with Hollywood Records, a label owned by the Walt Disney Company. Any crossover appeal that the label thought the band might have went to waste and they were soon dropped from it.

Not so hilariously, the band broke up in 1994 due to their frustration with music industry machinations and Dave Schulthise’s tendinitis, an affliction that made performing unbearably painful for him. Tragically, he committed suicide a decade after the band originally split in 2004, just as reunion talks were emerging. The rest of the group reconvened for a couple of benefit concerts in his memory and got back together full time in 2008, releasing two of their most acclaimed records 2008’s “The King In Yellow”, and 2014’s “Pretty Music For Pretty People”. Clearly The Dead Milkmen are a band that are far more vital and important than their parody-punk exterior suggests, look a little deeper and you’ll find a band truly worth following. Highly recommended.

Live reviews

The Dead Milkmen put on a kind of concert that is full of energy and downright fun. They bring the exhilaration to their music by playing in a fast paced, rambunctious way, but their lighthearted antics and carefree approach to performance makes the audience have a good time. Although The Dead Milkmen were disbanded for quite some time, they recently regrouped in 2008 to the glee of their fans and have been going strong ever since their reformation. Their music at times is sloppy, but this is just part of their style and is a part of their music that goes against formulaic conventions and makes their songs interesting. In songs like “Beach Song” they start off the music in a very melodic and catchy format, but later in the song they come in with obnoxious yelling and sporadic guitar rhythms and sing about how they have no desire to spend their summer like everyone else. Their lyrics are often ridiculous and hysterical, perfectly embracing the punk style of teenage angst and reveling in disobedience and strong-will.

The Dead Milkmen still perform with the childish frivolity that makes them so loveable and fresh. Lead singer, Rodney Linderman, runs around stage yelling his punk rock songs into the microphone and inciting all of his fans to jump into the fun. During live performances they are likely to play songs encompassing most of their albums including their hit song, “Punk Rock Girl”. They will also probably be playing songs from their latest album release, “The King in Yellow”.

The Dead Milkmen’s blend of punk and pop music mixed in with a hint of a country vibe makes their sound unique and engaging. Their fun attitude and strong passion to create energetic music makes their show a must see.

Punk band The Dead Milkmen to play free concert at Hamtramck Labor Day Festival

Punk band The Dead Milkmen will make a long-awaited return to metro Detroit during Labor Day weekend, when they’ll headline the Hamtramck Labor Day Festival at 9 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 3.

The beloved Philadelphia band arrives to metro Detroit hot off the June release of “Quaker City Quiet Pills,” their first new album in nearly a decade. Original members Joseph Genaro (guitar, vocals, keyboards), Rodney Linderman (vocals, keyboards, tin whistle) and Dean Sabatino (drums, percussion, vocals) are still in action, along with bassist Dan Stevens, who joined in 2004 following the death of original bass player Dave Schulthise.

With tracks like “ Grandpa’s Not a Racist (He Just Voted for One) ,” the Milkmens’ famed, acerbic sense of humor roars back in peak form on the album. PunkNews.org declared , “The new LP embraces the yuks side while amplifying their other aspects of the band — namely their socio-political bend and their straight up weirdness. To that end, QCQP is the band’s tightest and sharpest LP in a long time … and it’s really good, too.”

The band announced the Hamtramck gig on its Facebook page Thursday morning, generating dozens of enthusiastic comments and more than 50 shares.

The Hamtramck Labor Day Festival runs Saturday, Sept. 2 through Monday, Sept. 4, with live entertainment on two stages from 1:30 to 10 p.m. The festival also includes rides, food vendors, canoe races, a parade and live wrestling. It takes place along Joseph Campau Avenue and is free to attend every year. For more information about the festival, visit www.hamtownfest.com .
