Millionaires February 13, 2009

Millionaires started on the beautiful day of August 14th 2007. It was a quite sunny day, just like any other day in Huntington Beach, California, and sisters Melissa and Allison Green started to become inquisitive about their new Apple desktop and decided to try Garageband. After two hours of intense physical labor, they came up with the first hit, 'I Like Money.' They decided that maybe since the Garageband loops and vocal recordings (aka yelling at the Apple desktop monitor since they had no recording system whatsoever) were SO AMAZING, they should make a music Myspace. They realized, upon creating the Myspace, that they did not have an extravagant name to go along with their new hit. The two quickly decided upon Millionaires because it tied into the name of the song, 'I Like Money.' Within hours after posting the first song, they received amazing online attention and within weeks, were already on the Myspace Top Artist Charts. Joined by friend Dani Artaud, they put out 'Hoe Down' within hours and posted it immediately that night. After that, their music just took off. They played their first show at The Joint and the next night played at The Roxy in Hollywood. After only 6 months of being together, they landed a spot on Bamboozle Left '08. They were now ready to tackle the treacherous task of tour. During the tour, they were asked to perform live on MTV's TRL, which was probably the most horrifyingly terrific situation of their young lives. They released their first digital EP-"Bling Bling Bling" into online music stores worldwide. The girls were featured on the cover of Bakatopia Magazine, in the OC Weekly, did interviews on DJ Rosstar's Internet Radio show as well as Forbidden Radio, and played the LA Pre-Warped Tour Party with Shwayze and 3OH!3.
