Largely self-taught, Mike played "stunt guitar" and keyboards in Frank Zappa's last touring band and has appeared on a bunch of Zappa albums, has recorded or performed with XTC, Robert Fripp, Sting, Kevin Gilbert, Steve Vai, The Loud Family, Henry Kaiser, Michael Manring, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Andy Prieboy, The Persuasions and scads of others, and has been producing solo works since the early '90s.

"Dancing," an ambitious work released in late 2000 by Keneally and his eight-piece band, Beer For Dolphins, debuted at Number 167 on The Billboard 200 chart, Number 11 on the magazine's Independent Albums chart and Number 11 on its Heatseekers list. Critics hailed it as one of the year's best albums.

Mike's 1999 solo album, "Nonkertompf," prompted these comments by David Fricke in Rolling Stone magazine: "I saw guitarist Mike Keneally play with Frank Zappa in the 1980s, nimbly negotiating the maestro's knotty charts, and I've watched Keneally cook hard with his twisted-fusion outfit, Beer For Dolphins. But none of it prepared me for the color and density of 'Nonkertompf,' a whirl of thirty-five instrumental miniatures, played by Keneally in their entirety and advertising not only his spicy fluency on the guitar but a flair for hot melodic sabotage rooted, yet not imprisoned, in Zappology. The music flies mad and fast, but what the hell? You have a whole century to digest it."

Keneally's other releases include 1992's "hat.", 1994's "Boil That Dust Speck," 1996's "Half Alive In Hollywood" and 1997's "Sluggo!". 1995 brought the left-field classic "The Mistakes," which found Keneally teamed with Henry Kaiser, Andy West and Prairie Prince to scintillating effect. A number of things involving Keneally have been nominated for Grammies, and some of them have won. His music invokes such rabid fan response that a group of Keneally enthusiasts from around the world joined together in San Diego during the summer of 2000 to present "Nonkerstock," their own fan-produced-and-promoted tribute to all things Keneally, culminating in a performance by Mike and BFD.

About Keneally and Beer For Dolphins, Matt Resnicoff wrote in Time Out New York: "This band, with such a peculiar genius leading it, is a thing to savor."

Milo Z is a dynamic funk band with can't help it-shake-your-body dance grooves and slow dance smooth sole. The music is for all emotions. The band is refined in all aspects. Their array of catchy songs, top-notch musicianship, flashy outfits, dance steps, and stage presence makes a massive impression gaining cult followings throughout the east coast and parts of Europe.

Milo Z's biggest asset is the bands leader and frontman Milo Z himself. Milo is a lost breed in a sense. He is a true entertainer, he strongly believes in the live show. Milo has his own unique style and spirit as a legitimate frontman. Like James Brown, he orchestrates his band into tight polished grooves, he choreographs dance steps, has singles to cue different rhythmic patterns, changes, and horn hits. Like Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler, Milo dances and struts connecting his attitude to his audiences.

Milo Z has performed with The Neville Brothers, Tom Jones, Maceo Parker, The Funky Meters, The Average White Band, G-Love and Special Sauce, Patty Smith, Al Green and Massive Attack.
