Millenniums
[a1179656], [a1314397] and [a1500340] started The Millenniums as a joke, a one-night band to celebrate the festivities of the New Millennium on New Year's Eve. The band played covers and traditional folksongs on an old organ, a present from the pastor of their town. The band disbanded after that party. In the beginning of 2002, DJ [a2280783] had a new concept to form a band for another party. The 'new' band was founded by [a5590964], [a1314397] and [a2280783]. [a1314397] made the choice to use the name 'Millenniums', because the organ was used again. This time the music was a mix of Jazz, Worldmusic and Funky Soundtracks.Different friends (musicians) were invited to join the band. Most compositions were made by the founder-members and the party became a big success. The First Real Line-Up: [a1314397], [a2280783], [a5590964], [a1500340], [a704243], [a2280784], [a5590962], [a1311035]. [a506067], [a1314299].[a3412509] The following months some members left and were replaced by others. [a1311035] left and [a1179655] joined the band. Some extra musicians were added: [a387073] and [a1179656]. With this line-up several concerts were played, sometimes with some extra guest musicians. Just before the recording sessions for 'Hi-Fi Stereo', [a704243] left the band and [a400868] became the new saxophone player. The recordings for "Hi-Fi Stereo" were successful and during these sessions [a2735223] joined the band. More concerts came, but later again some members left the band. This time [a5590962], [a1179655], [a387073], [a1500340] and [a1179656]. [a770755] joined and became the new trumpet player. A new CD "2nd Cumming" was recorded and it sounded again very nice and exotic. Many concerts came but with the always changing line-up, the sound was changing. When the CD was released, founder-member [a2280783] left the band and again some others followed... [a1314397] found a new line-up which is here described as current line-up, but he also changed the name of the band in: [a2157888]. New musicians and a new concept...
