Harvey Milk

Profile:
Harvey Milk are an experimental rock band that formed in Athens, Georgia in the early 1990s.

The band, despite playing numerous live shows and releasing a slew of 7" singles and three full length albums, never received much attention outside of their local fanbase. Even when they were together, Harvey Milk releases were notoriously hard to find.

It was not until years after the band's demise that their singles, as well as all three full length albums, saw re-release through various labels, most notably Relapse Records.

While Harvey Milk invariably draws comparisons to the Melvins, due to their penchant for slow, heavy riffs, the band has touched upon such artists as ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin and Leonard Cohen as influences in their music. They even went so far as to perform a live show consisting of nothing but Hank Williams covers.

They are named after Harvey Milk, San Francisco, California's first openly gay city supervisor, who was murdered in 1978.

Harvey Milk's historic core (Creston Spiers, Stephen Tanner & Paul Trudeau) reunited in 2006 to record "Special Wishes".

Harvey Milk formed in Athens, Georgia during the 1990s. They played many live shows and had a few albums out, but they never gained widespread popularity. It wasn't until years after they were formed did they finally start to get attention, and various record labels re-released their albums during this time. They disbanded in 1998 due to lack of interest, but reformed in 2006 in order to play some more live shows. One of their live shows consisted of nothing but Hank Williams covers. Another live show consisted of the band playing nothing but R.E.M. - Reckoning on April Fools Day.

This band is named after a San Francisco politician named Harvey Bernard Milk the first openly gay California politician. He was murdered in 1978.
