Plastic Has Memory

Milla would like all her fans to know that Plastic Has Memory is no longer a band. She is now going to perform and record simply as "Milla".

Milla sang and played guitar in her band Plastic Has Memory. PHM's sound was nothing like what we heard on The Divine Comedy - the mandolin/fiddle inspired folkiness is nowhere to be found. What we heard is in the same vein as Portishead - guitar-driven & dark with lengthy jams.

PHM played a few shows in LA & NYC in 1999. Mick Jagger showed up to one of PHM's New York City shows - Milla comments on Mick (RealVideo clip) in this article from MTV. The 2 large photos on this page are from a PHM show in '99 courtesy of Joseph.

Guy Demarco has posted some great MP3 clips of a few songs from PHM's June 24, 1999 show at Luna Park (West Hollywood, CA):

Lyrics to PHM songs can be found in the Lyrics Archive.

Milla & Plastic Has Memory perform "On the Hill" on Hollywood Goes Wild, a benefit project with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Wildlife Waystation. For more information & ordering instructions click here.
