Plus UK Tour dates announced
Tel Aviv’s Monotonix are The People’s band. Touring for the majority of the 365 days in a year, they have found their way into some of the most musically undernourished communities the world over, satisfying their eyes and ears (and hunger for sweaty hairy bodies).
It’s really no surprise (or is it considering their nomadic nature?) that Monotonix would choose to settle down for two months in Louisiana to write their first full-length LP, (out on August 31st 2009 via Drag City) Where Were You When It Happened? Formed during a sabbatical in Midtown New Orleans, a neighborhood pummeled by hurricane Katrina. Perhaps the the NoLA environs influences the raw and dirty energy this record possesses.
Where Were You When It Happened? is the closest thing to 3-D Monotonix you’ll get in audio form. It captures the wild kinetic energy of a Monotonix show, making it the perfect souvenir of an unforgettable live experience.
Speaking of shows, Monotonix is planning a lengthy tour for Where Were You When It Happened?, and we expect nothing less, and more to come, from these road warriors.
