MONKS: THE TRANSATLANTIC FEEDBACK, Sat. at Revolve08
They had strange haircuts, dressed in black, mocked the military and rocked harder than any of their mid-sixties counterparts while managing to basically invent industrial, punk and techno music.
The genre-overlapping documentary film not only illustrates the pop music phenomenon in its political, social and cultural historic contexts, but also reveals the monks project as the first marriage between art and popular music, and this months before Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground.
Revolve Comments from Mitch Easter:
Why should anybody care about yet another 15-minutes-of-fame 60s band? Because listening to the music you are struck by the pure power and strangeness of it! By the looks of things, its 1965 but the sound could be 2065, or maybe 1065 at times this music seems to be the root of everything that followed, but then maybe its more like a dying language spoken by a few practitioners on a remote island. It is: beat music, folk, weird trancey drones, pure raw power. All delivered with notable fervor on the usual guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, and ... banjo?!
