The Monks were freaking awesome. Can't understand why they were never better known.

I'm still kicking myself for missing their Cavestomp reunion a few year's back at the Westbeth Theater. But hey, I saw the Chocolate Watchband and Standell shows so it wasn't a total wash.

That was good, but that Elka organ was just grating on headphones.

It's beat time, it's hot time, it's Monk time.

I was thinking about posting something from The Monks when I saw that earlier thread. These guys are sweet!

Thanks I was pretty pleased myself!

to be honest its not the first time I tried to submit these guys but I guess today was appropriate because of the Thelonious Monk vid from before...

that said, I submitted this song originally: black monk time (new window) , its slightly better, but if you want the whole Germany show, just youtube "MOnks germany" they are all pretty rocking.

Also on Youtube youll notice a show from them in 2006, it's surprisingly good!

/this is the punkest thing ever!

I can't believe my eyes! The Monks greenlit on Fark? WIN.

Seein' as how everybody reading this thread has awesome taste in music, if you're bored... check out my new band page and tell me what you think! They're rough mixes, and we'll probably redo most of the vocals, yada, yada, disclaimers, myspace sucks, etc...

We're kinda hard to describe, but I'd say our influences are 60's psyche, dark pop, old country, neil young, smog, the white album, the oh sees... endin up sort of classic rock by way of modern indie rock.

LOL, smitty. Nicely done. I half-contemplated posting a Monks video myself, but I thought it'd been done before, and I didn't think it'd fly twice. Glad to see I was wrong. I'll have to throw this on the turntable tonight.

thanks , not to threadjack but YOU are responsible for that Xerox thread??? clap clap clap


how on earth do you submit something like that?

great band! can't believe this actually got greenlit! one of my favorite bands of all time!

BLACK MONK TIME is also one of my favorite books. the book perfectly describes the horrors of being in a touring rock n roll band! ESSENTIAL.
