The Monks were all ex-US Marines who made some of the most discordant music of the sixties.They lrft the US Army in Germanu and started playing in Hamburg. At first they were a standard pre-Beatles cover grou until they became a wierd cross between Pre Beatles beat,Nihilstic Tendencies and total ineptitude, they pioneered what they called über beat, a kind of hypercharged frat rock. The drummer played with almost no cymbals and a banjo was used to create a kind of wierd percussive edge. You can fine the Monks reissued on American Records and there is an excellent book that Half a Cow has instock. It's recomended because it really is one of the great rock biographies. These guys are beyond most modern music, check out their attemps at psychedelia!!

I think they said it was on >Punk Vault? I haven't been able to find it anywhere.

I scored my copy of it at Subterranean Records in NYC (formerly known as Hideout Records owned by Scott C.) It's got 18 tracks...it's pricey but worth it. Also in the Punk Vault Series for those interested is Joy Division - Digital Glass (PVCD 1001) with 20 Tracks & Pere UBU (PVCD 1002). The Pere UBU has alot of dropouts in it, but still is pretty intense considering there aren't too many tapes circulating. If it hasn't made it to your area, try Goldmine in one of those bootleg columns.....

I think it's called AntiChrist (like her new project) There is also a better store next to hers run by an guy from the old punk scene. He has a hilarious chickencoop display in back housing all the old flyers of punk shows from the late 70's to early 80's. When I was there he even had a mannequin resembling Darby Crash. He sells 60's and 70's toys and memorabilia pretty cheap. You might check out Hollywood book and poster on Hollywood Blvd. They have some cool old movie posters, although the popular ones can be a bit expensive. I found some cool movie photos directly across the street from there (I can't recall the name of the place). Anyways behind the counter they had a massive filing cabinet. I simply gave them the name of the movie. i.e. It's a bikini world' and he brought back a handful of original black & white photo stills from the flick. The cool thing was they were all 3 or 4 bucks each. (note: take movie names with you, they have no index) A place to check out if you haven't been there is 'Chick-a-boom' on Melrose. It's pricey but man they have the coolest memorabilia ever from the 50's-70's....Stuff you just never see! Really expensive, but a must see if you're into that kinda stuff.

I have a couple of great songs on tape by a band called the Monks. They were either from Canada or Britain in the late 70's. My friend Paul has the album - the cover shows a sexy girl in a monk's habit. My favorite songs off the lp are "Drugs in my pocket," "Out of work musician," and "Nice legs, shame about her face." Every song has some sort of biting humor to the lyrics and the melodies are terrific catchy poppy punk. The reason why I think they may be Canadian, or were released on a Canadian label is 'cause my friend who owns the record came from upstate NY and said they used to get airplay on stations over the border (which is also where he bought the lp.) I hope this helps!
