MIGGS

MIGGS is an American pop/rock band formed in 2001 in San Francisco, CA by Don Miggs (vocals/guitar). Michael Lombardo (bass/vocals) joined in 2005, Walker Adams (drums/vocals) joined in 2011 and John Luzzi (guitar/vocals) joined in 2012. Over the course of a decade, the band has released five albums and toured extensively with high-profile bands such as Maroon 5, Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver's Scott Weiland, LIVE's Ed Kowalczyk, Plain White T's, Green River Ordinance, Parachute, Candlebox, and KT Tunstall.

Don Miggs teamed up with drummer Jason Gianni and bass guitarist Mark Baker in San Francisco, California in 2001. After playing with many guitarists, the band independently released the album "Anyway" in 2003 which was recorded for less than $2,000 over the course of 50 hours. Michael Muller, who works and performs on the Late Show with David Letterman, played all lead guitar parts on the album.

The band sold over 10,000 copies of "Anyway" and spent the next three years playing throughout California. At this time, MIGGS started to develop a fan base playing at local Borders and Barnes & Noble bookstores two to four times a week.

Gavin MacKillop (Goo Goo Dolls, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Sugarcult) teamed up with miggs to produce "Insomnia" in 2005. The band embarked on their first national tour, opening for Cake (band), Aerosmith, Kid Rock and Lifehouse.

After a brief hiatus, Don Miggs released the solo acoustic EP "Late Nights And Early Mornings".

2006 saw a reformed MIGGS with Don Miggs' childhood friend and original bassist Michael Lombardo joining the band. In 2008, the band released "Unraveled," a collection of unreleased and alternate versions of songs from miggs' previous three albums. They achieved chart success with the singles "Perfect" produced and mixed by JC Convertino (Miles Davis, Talking Heads,Velvet Underground) "I Believe," which reached No. 66 and No. 82 on Billboard's Hot AC chart. "I Believe" landed No. 7 on the Hot AC Media Base Chart and the band played on the national morning show Good Morning America.
