Dan Manata
I was born in Pawtuckett, Rhode Island Daniel Barra Manata to my parents John and Amelia. I lived in Cumberland, Rhode Island for eleven years. I then moved to Palm Coast, Florida where I finished middle school. I found myslef living in Portugual for the next four years untill I moved back to Florida. I've been a computer geek my entire life and no matter how many times I burn my pocket protector, it always comes back. I am also webmaster for milkaROCKS.com.
I picked up the guitar when I was thirteen after listening to Metallica's "Enter Sandman" on my sister's car radio in her Tercel. From then on it haven't really put the thing down. I met Milka by chance at Sam Ash in Orlando. My life since then has completely changed. I love what I do, and I love my band. They inspire me like no others.
And boobs. I really like boobs.
Jeff McAlear
So yeah, I was born in Toledo OH. Moved to exciting Naples, Fl. when I was 8 years old. Sun, fun, and retirement homes! I was a band geek in high school, and discovered the glory of co-ed bus trips! (way better than playing football). I then heard a band named Slayer in 11th grade and pooped my pants at how fast and tight they were, so I had to get a drum set. Even though there was no way in hell I could play 95% of what Slayer plays they were definitely my main influence to "ROCK”!! Then at 24 I decided to get my Audio Engineering degree, and got a job at Transcontinental Studios in beautiful Orlando Fl. Home of the "Drinky Winky"!! worked with artists such as Sevendust, Creed, John Paul Jones, O-Town, R. Kelly, and a bunch of other people I can't remember.
I currently work at Crush Studios Orlando Inc., and play neat-o muzak with 4 of my best friends.
P.S. ugisugit???? Viva la Schmirnoff!!!!!!!!
Milka Ramos
I was conceived while my parents where having an aquatic wrestling night on a beach in Puerto Rico. Born in Ponce, P.R.
I started writing and playing guitar when I was nine years old. I joined an all girl band called "Lenguaje Volatil" when I was fifteen. I moved to Orlando in 1999 and started playing coffee houses where I met Dave and formed our band. My influences go from Spanish acts like Puya and Ednita Nazario to the Bangles and Tool.
I enjoy strippers, rubber duckies, vanilla ice cream, back seats and Mexican midget wrestling.
