MORE ON THE ARTIST & RELEASE:

Milk 'N' Cookies was a band from , . Active during the 1970s, a particularly fertile and creative period in the suburban New York music scene, the band had a loyal following of fans attracted to their unique sound. While many other New York metro-based bands of the time like and had edgier personas and harder sounds, Milk 'N' Cookies crafted a more wholesome, pop sensibility.Although they didn't receive the radio airplay and attention from mainstream labels given to many of their peers, they were influential in their time and have since achieved considerable cult fame for contributions in the cross-section of pop, glam, and proto-punk.

History

Milk 'N' Cookies was formed in early 1973, when , an aspiring artist and singer/guitarist from met a guitarist named Jay Weiss, who - despite being the better guitarist of the two - opted to switch instruments when the band was unable to find a bassist. The two became best friends and - after recruiting drummer Mike Ruiz - began shopping a demo tape North recorded on a four-track At the band's very first show as Milk 'n' Cookies, eventual lead singer, Justin Strauss, shook a tambourine and sang back-ups. "After the show a few people told me it didn't look right," North noted, "either he should be the lead singer or he should get off the stage." North relinquished lead vocals and Strauss's position was cemented.

Milk 'N' Cookies quickly found an audience, playing at Long Island and New York bars, clubs, high school dances, and - in 1974 - for ' manager, John Hewlett. Hewlett agreed to take the band on - and would later play an instrumental role in flying the band to England to record with producer - but only upon the condition that Weiss be replaced by Sal Maida, a bassist who had previously played with .Without hesitation, North dismissed Weiss from the group. Decades later, he would write that "the guilt of that has weighed on my conscience ever since."

The first single from the album, "Little, Lost And Innocent" backed with "Good Friends",was released by but when it failed to chart and the label couldn't figure out how to market the band, the album's release was indefinitely postponed When Island offered Ian North a solo deal, he left Milk 'N' Cookies and moved to London, forming a new group called Ian's Radio, which eventually became . By this time, Sal Maida had quit the group as well, to play with Sparks.

It wasn't until the hit that Island felt they had a way to market the Milk 'n' Cookies album: as . But while the band's robust live sound (preserved in a 14-song live bootleg recorded at CBGB) certainly came closer to the punk music played by other bands with which they shared bills at clubs like and ,their image was that of "well-scrubbed all-American boys who would not have looked out of place in the pages of a vintage ."

Without North, who up to this point had written all of the band's music and lyrics, the remaining members of Milk 'n' Cookies recorded a few more demos but no further albums were ever released.
