The sense I got at time of the rock world in Boston, especially the stoner rock thing, was that it was an indulgent time. And I saw Milligram as a reaction to that; you guys were Spartan, to the point, short songs. Especially the This Is Class War stuff like “Let’s Kill”; two minutes, direct, blunt.
It was entirely conscious.
The band name really came from Zeph saying “Let’s use this name and use it as a metaphor for a potent, very small doses of music.” The whole sort of idea comes from the Minutemen, you know? Zeph, being a huge Minutemen fan was like “Let’s do that, let’s make different music and keep it concise.” That made me happy because I like really concise songs anyway. If you can do it in a minute or two minutes and it’s good enough, why ruin it for everybody? And that’s why Milligram shows were always very short-- like the Dwarves, we were huge Dwarves fans. If you can play a set in twelve minutes that will blow everyone away, you’re all set-- why play for an hour?
