About me: Let me start by saying thank you to the tens of thousands of Pink Floyd fans that have allowed us to continue presenting and improving this show for the past 9 yrs....That's right....2008 will mark the 10th year of celebrating the music of Pink Floyd w/all of you, and it is one of the highlights of the year for everyone involved....thank you so much for helping it evolve into the spectacle that will be El Monstero 2008.
For those first timers, here's the skinny....El Monstero is a St. Louis based Pink Floyd tribute band. The brainchild of Stir bassist Kevin Gagnepain, El Monstero's first appearance was a single night, sold out show @Mississippi Nights in 1999. By 2007 the show spanned 5 nights @The Pageant....who knows what 08 has in store.
The current line up includes Mark Thomas Quinn (lead vox, guitar, lap steel), Jimmy Griffin (lead vox, guitar), Kevin Gagnepain (bass, vox), Bryan Greene (elec, steel, and nylon guitar) John Pessoni (drums, vox) Bill Reiter (keys, vox) Jake Elking (keys), Dave Farver (sax) and of course the ladies....Erminie Cannon, Tandra Williams, and Mindy Mierek....they steal the show; Most members of El Monstero have been in bands that were signed to major labels, and they are all top notch players. The band spares no expense on production, hiring the best sound, lighting, visual, pyro, wardrobe, set design, and stage management personnel that St. Louis has to offer, as well as the best sound and lighting equipment in town. The show is truly a St. Louis holiday tradition.br />
The music mainly focuses on Gilmore/Waters era Floyd and runs about 2 1/2hrs....it is a must see for any Stl area Floyd fans and is an edgier, more theatrical alternative to other tribute shows that roll through town. The show is sponsored by K-SHE95, and K-SHE DJ FAVAZZ has been a true friend since day one.
Having said that, let me end by saying that the members of this band are HUGE fans of PF, a fact that lends to the familial/connected atmosphere of their shows....we look forward to seeing all of you this year....please check out our pics section for images of last years performance....Ticket info @www.thepageant.com

Spring is here and so are the butterflies! This week I have a gallery of a particular group of butterflies called Brushfoots. Brushfoots are the most commonly known and encountered of the large colorful butterflies (excluding the swallowtails) found in Florida and the Americas. These include the monarchs, fritillaries, buckeyes, and the viceroy below (who has nearly identical markings as the toxic monarch butterfly) to keep it from being eaten by birds.... cool trick, huh? :-)
