Singer/songwriter/guitarist Scott Miller was one of the more underrated and oft-overlooked disciples of sweet yet sinister power pop masters Alex Chilton/Big Star. In the early '80s, Miller formed college radio faves Game Theory in his hometown of Sacramento, California, releasing four albums (1985's Real Nighttime, 1986's Big Shot Chronicles, 1987's Lolita Nation, and 1988's Two Steps from the Middle Ages), before breaking up the band upon the dawn of the '90s. But Miller quickly launched another band, Loud Family, picking up musically where his former band left off, and issuing albums steadily throughout the '90s. Miller died on April 15, 2013 at the age of 53. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi
