InfluencesWho's to say? Being the third incarnation of the Monads, we've had quite a few members, and all of us have different tastes in music. If you've followed the band since its inception, you will be able to distinguish the periods of style. Everyone brings something different to the table, and it meshes perfectly into a great sound that cannot be matched.
Sounds LikeImagine, if you will, a herd of antelope bounding across the African plains. Add to that the sound of squirrels running around in the attic. Throw in a little bit of bubbles, shake, but not to much, otherwise you'll be covered in it. Let sit for three days, then bury it. After a month of waiting, and three hours of trying to remember where you buried it, slowly open the lid. There you have it, plain and simple.

"As for The Monads...If you can't have a good time at a Monads show, then we have serious concerns about your mental health." -www.offbroadwaystl.com



"The Monads are too spirited and too irreverent to be denied a little corner in your inner hillbilly-hooligan's heart. Like Split Lip Rayfield before them, the band members stomp all over that infinitesimally thin line between deconstruction and dementia, using banjo, fiddle, acoustic guitar and doghouse bass the way rabid hounds might use a burrow full of bunnies." -Roy Kasten, Riverfront Times


"Offering rural grit at lightning speed, the Monds bring a lively force to foreboding tales dipped in bourbon, creating a style that can only be called Black and Bluegrass. These folks write the songs for the outlaw in each of us." -The Reverend Uncle Marc



"The Monads are the best band in St. Louis." -Mike Leahy of 7 Shot Screamers



"Merging moonshine and mosh pits, St. Louis' own acoustic warriors, The Monads, blend blistering bluegrass with punk-rock swagger. The quartet of Jason Matthews, Pat Eagan, Jenna Schroeder and Matt Shivelbine has appeared with the likes of Reverend Glasseye, Split Lip Rayfield, The DeWayn Brothers and The Hackensaw Boys. Fuled with songs about murderin', drinkin', losin', cursin' and the end of the world, the music appeals to your inner cowboy while punching him in the face at the same time. Look for their new album, coming this fall from Big Muddy Records. So raise a glass, stomp your boots, and holler right along to a sound that's best described as 'Black & Bluegrass'."


Too Much to Drink. My Head hurts. I can't remember....


but it probably goes something like this::

After many years, and many beers, I stumbled across a man. He was sitting on a rain barrel, just whistling to himself, caught up in some fanciful daydream. But that has nothing to with anything, really. I should have just been watching were I was walking ... er, floating, I guess, because it's really hard to stumble across someone sitting way up on a rain barrel. Any way, after stumbling across the man, who was quite upset, for one thing, no one likes to be stumbled across, and for another, no one likes to see a floating person, regardless of what they have been drinking. It's quite unnerving. Hm, now what was I talking about again? Oh, yes, the Monads. Very talented young musicians, I must say. Twice has the band been put out of commission, mothballed, put on the back burner, and twice have they risen out of the ashes, triumphant and proud, like the majestic pheonix. The third incarnation of the Monads is proving to be a fierce force in the scene, blowing away the competition with a ruckus that part bluegrass, part rockabilly, part twang, part hick, part punk, pretty much part of everything. And people just can't help but enjoy it.

In 1900 the word "hillbilly" was first used in print in an article in the "New York Journal." It was spelled "Hill-Billie".

Hi there The Monads first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.

Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people make sure you bookmark the link below so that in the event that we do close our myspace account you won't lose contact with us. I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.
