Sorry believers - but these guys are just plain awful. Saw the movie - watched it all the way through - and decided it is the type of nihilist, head-banging, puerile crap that a schizophrenic would either produce or listen to. Repetitive, contrived, and farcical - like, dare I say, Warhol. ...but maybe I need to see them live? Plse - help me understand.
@greenlightwilly There's nothing to understand. It's all in the music. If you don't like it, you don't. I will say the repetition is part of the point. If you can't get into music that does that you won't like the Monks.
I discovered them two months ago. They're in my top five favorite bands.
David Havlicek. aka Dave Day, my youngest brother. He always wanted a band. Our mother and aunts were very musical. sang together. Our mother played the piano by ear. never read a note. our dad played the juice harp. know what that is??.
I have another brother Raymond. so very proud. Diana Havlicek Morales rip David.
hey it was just a matter of expression of how i felt after seeing The Monks live 30 years on! The Monks are geniuses! Well before their time! Infact they are one of the best bands of all time! Pioneers! And what is wrong with the occasional emotion, its what makes us human after all you idiot!
WE'RE ALMOST THERE FELLOW MONK FANS! I just checked Amazon and the DVD has appeared on the website but it's not available for pre-order yet. It should be available on March 13th! I'm only hoping they don't push the date back again, they already did it once, it was to be released on Feb. 27th.
THIS JUST IN!!!! The Monks documentary will be released on DVD on Feb. 27th, 2009 but will be available at Play Loud! Productions online store on Jan. 10th, 2009! The DVD will contain 70 minutes worth of bonus footage WHICH WILL INCLUDE all of the Beat Club performances IN THEIR ENTIRETY! It's gonna be MONK TIME all over again in '09 folks!

I love seeing Daves' big ole smile and high fiving the audience when they finish. I tell you these guys are so figgin appreciative that we the fans have kept their legacy alive! Were more than happy to keep on doing it!
experimentalist proto-punk from the 60's
