Update 7/19/26 (Click Me!):
  • I come to you with an album and newsstand page for July. I also made an Update Log, and updated Dave Blood's interview section with news interviews re: Yugoslavia via Sonic Geography. Here's a collection of photos that made me laugh while digging around the internet, along with other miscellany tests.
  • 1987 Newsstand. I love the singular press photo, didn't have the heart to crop them. Over the month I'll be working on making the articles clickable/enlargeable.
  • New Album Page!
  • Milkmen News: I figured since the site updates are slim, I'll fill in with any Milkmen-related updates I come across.
    • Dandrew is playing in a new band, Lash Out.
  • The Dead Milkmen book is out now! You can order it here. The author, Tyler Sonnichsen, has a load of Milkmen-related posts on his blog - things that didn't make the final cut of the book.
  • Thanks to those who are looking and checking back every so often. This site has reached 5,000 6,700 8,000 views, which is exciting (maybe a hit counter is in order). I have to imagine 25% of those views are from me checking every tiny update I make. See you later!

"Relevant Links" will take you out of this site. This site looks best on the computer, and won't be formatted for mobile devices. Sorry! I'm hoping that this site's design will be simple enough to where perusing on your phone or tablet won't be too annoying.

Hello, and welcome! This is a Dead Milkmen fan site! Please reference the about page to learn a little about this site and why I made it.

This site is for my own enjoyment, but I would like for it to be accurate for my sake and the sake of any passersby who don't know anything about the Milkmen. If you're reading this and notice that any information is incomplete or incorrect, please email me at swamplandofdesire.archive@gmail.com so I can make it right!

I'm hoping to get a "contribute" form going once I reach a good spot of ~static information~. If you are reading this and have something to contribute, please keep me in mind and check back at a later date (maybe in a month or so!).

There are a lot of broken/incomplete links floating around online that I would like to try to update. Current Checklist:
1. DM Tabs Project. I'm realizing this may be difficult as I only know how to play bass hehe
2. Archive of Newzletters/Articles/Interviews. *Starting* 1985 to now.
3. Marketing/Promotional Materials Archive
4. Lyrics (in a space not hindered by ads/takes my computer a billion years to load)
5. Biographies
6. Discographies - Information about the album, scans of inserts, related images.

As I continue to tinker away at this site, I want to direct you to The Dead Milkmen Guitar Tab Project (specifically The Song Files), as well as metallipromo's Dead Milkmen Page. Coming across these pages made my jaw drop, and gave me comfort in knowing that I'm not the only freak out there dedicating so much time to the band I love. Enjoy, and thanks for looking!
