In theory, Miyha<\/a> is a band that shouldn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n

Between jobs and commitments to other bands, it\u2019s hard for the Madison indie punk quartet \u2014 who play the Crystal Corner on April 27<\/a> \u2014 to find time to practice, let alone book shows or record music. But that didn\u2019t stop them from putting together their first full-length album, World\u2019s Biggest Crush<\/em>, due April 26<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe play once a month,\u201d said singer and guitarist Alejandra Perez when I recently met the band at their practice space. \u201cThat\u2019s the rule.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s about all the band can fit in. Perez and bassist Kyle Kohl each work days, and Kohl also plays in Parsing. Drummer Erik Fredine and guitarist Mike Pellino work nights and play together in a handful of other bands, including We Should Have Been DJs and Tippy. The pair also played with Kohl in a band called Spaceship Parts. Perez, meanwhile, was a member of the since-dissolved Tarpaulin. Got all that?<\/p>\n

So in truth, Miyha is the sum of a lot of other acts. But don\u2019t ever call them a side project. Erik Fredine was quick to correct me when I made that mistake.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Miyha has a gig or is recording, every other band gets put on hold,\u201d says Fredine.<\/span>\n
