Milo Greene is a self-described Cinematic-Pop band that formed in Los Angeles, California. Milo Greene is a quintet, with four lead singers, none of whom are named Milo.



Band members: Robbie Arnett, Graham Fink, Andrew Heringer, and Marlana Sheetz share lead and backing vocal duties, often switching instruments during performances while drummer Curtis Marrero lays down the percussion.

The Sound: The band describes their Cinematic-Pop sound to Lauren Moraski of CBS News: "'Originally when we started this band we wanted to create music that we could potentially see being placed in movies and TV,'said singer/multi-instrumentalist Sheetz. 'We really love scoring and that's how we wanted the music to sound. Very cinematic -- which is kind of why we like to call it cinematic-pop.'"

The Name: Interestingly, no member of the band is named Milo Greene. Milo Greene is the name of a fictitious booking agent, a persona created by the band to help them get gigs in the early days of playing shows. The band describes Milo's identity to The Guardian: "He's British. He wears a three-piece-suit. He wears a monocle. He's albino. He has chops, sideburns. He's confident, charming, well-read, well-spoken. He's a gentlemen [sic], the kind of guy we all aspire to be." The band decided to keep the name of their fictitious booking agent for the group.

They were on KEXP not to long ago. If you haven't seen them yet, this performance gives a pretty great idea of what they sound like!
