Millions Are A Set Of Sharp-Dressed Garage-Pop Marvels Out Of Brisbane. At Home They've Forged A Tireless Reputation For Swoonsome Live Shows As Well As Establishing An Arsenal Of Swaggeringly Tasty Tunes. The Queensland 4-Piece Hit The Ground Running When Not Long After Forming They Were Hand-Picked By Triple J Unearthed To Open 2011's Splendour In The Grass Festival At Woodford. Since Then They've Shared Stages With The Likes Of Unknown Mortal Orchestra The Grates And Bluejuice And Completed National Tours Supporting San Cisco Oh Mercy Last Dinosaurs And Gold Fields.
