Monmon are a guitar-based garage-band trio, working from the City of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. Monmon have released two EPs, played hundreds of gigs/festivals/parties and performed as guests of BBC6 DJ Tom Robinson.

Forward thinking and, for the most part, well-read Modernists, Monmon contest that potentially reactionary blues-music signifiers such as valve-powered sound amplification technology and vintage electric guitars still retain scope for original, yet referential (and indeed reverential,) musical exploration and existential expression,
especially when played to the beat of an energetically thumped wood and copper drum-kit.

Of course any old shit can be sung over a half-decent rhythm, but we like to take that extra little effort to not intentionally reproduce existing tracts, a priori, but instead add to the body of work
through our own imagination and experience.

MonMon's new  EP "Monkey Fist" will be available in February 2009.

Elegant, sweeping, seafaring and brutal, the four tracks are:

"Monkey Fist"     "Knives"     "Erato"      "A vase with no eyes".

MonMon will also be gigging extensively in the new year to showcase these, and the rest of their melodic and angular set. We are sure you will enjoy!
