About This Band
The Damn Millionaires are:
Vince Chao
Jesse Grinter
Allison Lowe Huff
Chris Huff
In 2000, Vince and Allison sat around in Arlington, TX writing songs between working their real world jobs and playing with other bands. They kept it up even after two moves -- Al to Atlanta and Vince to Monroe, LA. When it came time to put some of these songs down on tape, Chris was forced through the legal obligations of marriage to play drums.
Jesse made the tragic misstep of dropping by the Chaos' house one night on a visit home to Monroe from his Hollywood lifestyle in Los Angeles, and we shoved a guitar in his hands, demanded that he play it, and harassed him into becoming a Damn Millionaire. That changed everything. The songs went from being "cool" to "INCREDIBLY AWESOME."
So, hell, they decided to make it official and record their first album in 2005 in Birmingham, AL.
The band got its name from Al's late grandfather, George Outlaw, who considered anyone with more than five dollars to their name to be a "damn millionaire."
