Menster Phip meets Jan & Arnie where Tobacco Road hits Bikini Beach.
Blind Faith! Asia! The Traveling Wilburys! Just three of the many "supergroups" in the history of rock music to bear absolutely no resemblance whatsoever to the sonic splendor of the mighty Mondellos. Distilled from the living wreckage of Southeastern sloplords The Delusionaires and Thee Monarchy V, The Mondellos exhume the all-but-extinct "Florida Sound" of such luminaries as Benny Joy and Allen Page and embalm it with equal portions alcohol and aphrodesia. Mondellos membranophonist Winthrop Fist (nee Dennie Fist, later Dennie Monarchy) is no stranger to aficionados of the Big Beat, his signature stomp looming large through the legendary Harmonoius Fists and Thee Monarchy V. Less celebrated but no less insidious is the six-string slaughter of Artie Mondello, who under the nom de string of Aaron Jarvis has racked up a frightful number of bar tabs with the Exotic Aarontones, the Vodkats, the Del Spektros, the Aaronauts, and the Delusionaires. Tobacco Road meets Bikini Beach? The missing link between Jan & Arnie and Menster Phip? Only hindsight will tell. For today, the Mondellos' frenzied brand of surf-stomp-twist-slop beat reduction can only speak for itself, in a language both forgotten and not yet written...
