MMCD was formed when, after many long jam and noise-making sessions, married couple Eoin O'Halloran and Yuzuha O'Halloran decided to spice things up and add a drummer into the mix: Hugh Denman. Having all previously played and toured together as part of bands Atsch and Parallel Society, a unique and personal sound was quickly forged from the first rehearsal.
