Mid-Life Crisis (MLC)

"Other bands learned their songs....
"We used to wait until they came to us!"

Mid-Life Crisis (MLC) was a rock & roll band from Chesapeake and Virginia Beach, VA and they shared their name with many other bands that used music to overcome the mid-life blues.

On March 26th, 2009, MLC had their last practice session at the Sweatshop Studios in Virginia Beach. Unfortunately and for unknown reasons, MLC stopped getting together. Right now they are waiting for hell to freeze over and a farewell tour (including a return trip to stinky fields) is becoming more and more unlikely. Well, at least we should all be happy that it did not end in "The Commitments" alley.

Luckily the recorder was running during their last session and the very last two songs ever played by MLC are the first two "best of" songs in the recordings section of this site.
