Monks Coffeeshop is an aspiring music venue. With a prime downtown location, Monks is surrounded by three universities and is frequented by students, music lovers, and members of the community. Music is our passion, and we welcome artists from Abilene and beyond that are making music that Pitchfork Media would write about - whether it's good or bad (we don't always agree with their tastes).

After putting in several years of research papers, bill-paying, and brain-storming, coffee has become a staple in our lives. We have a feeling you’re the same way. That’s why we started our own coffee shop. Monks is a place that welcomes the work and conversations that go better with a hot cup of coffee. It’s a monastery of sorts–at least that’s what we want it to be. It’s a place where you can retreat from the dullest segments of life and step into a creative environment. It’s a place that you can go to renew your wits and your strength when you feel drained. Come on downtown and have a cup.

i'm a bit taken aback, Dust, that you failed to mention will and I's ambivalent art in the church of the holy sepulchar in your 'list of notable bands'... love you love you
We really want to come to Abilene and play for you guys November 14th! Let us know what we need to do to book this show with you! "Monks" looks like a cool place to kick off our West Coast Tour!
