BASE.AD - Words by Evan Parker

"The Munroes take to the stage without a word and blast straight into a lairy version of ‘Gunning us Down’, which brings to attention the fear and violence prevalent in today’s society, as Robert Runciman drawls like Julian Casablancas if someone slipped Never Mind The Bollocks into his CD player while he was asleep.

The Munroes are a band touted by none other than Liam Gallagher as the new Sex Pistols. They make no nonsense Ramones style punk, with no frivolities, singing about ‘Rock n Roll Girl[s]’ which has all the indie cindys at the front swinging each other around, whereas The Beatle-sy ‘Rainbow Song’ causes mass making out between couples. There is barely a pause between each song – the last note of the song barely ringing out from the guitar before Robert Runciman spits “One, Two, Three, Four!” and the band rattle through another raucous booze soaked song.

Luckily the band is up to speed as drummer Michele Camasso drums like he’s wearing that reverse bear trap with the timer from Saw on his head, frantically drumming for his life. As they put away their instruments, chants of “encore, encore” are met with a riotous cover of ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ minus the now awol singer and plus one very wasted man, who dances around the stage like Bez and provides the “whoo whoos!” The real singer finds his way back to the stage in the end, beer in hand, happy with the impostor who is actually doing a sterling job!"

ART ROCKER - "The Munroes are certainly ready for their close up. These leering, letching rockers are pitched somewhere between BRMC and The Libertines – not exactly a recipe for revolution, but one that does bring forth some breezy pop moments. ‘Rainbow Sun’ in particular is fuelled by contradictory emotions; it’s nostalgic but energetic, sad but determined. That’s as far as the poetry goes though; lead singer Robert Ruciman tumbles around the stage like a boozed up Ollie Reed, and is good, rock ‘n’ roll bang for your bucks.

GIGSONAIR - "The Munroes took to the stage at around 9.30pm and the band members lead by Robert Runciman, decked out in matching skinny leather jackets reminded me of my early days when I used to watch recordings of The Ramones at CBGB’s and wished I was in a Rock n Roll band. With tunes reminiscent of what you would hear in New York’s Greenwich Village and lyrics stolen from their dad’s poems, they gave a performance that would have not looked out of place at the 100 Club back in 1976 but with modern day melodies and a lot more chords."

   About The Munroes
Re-formed in early 2009, THE MUNROES are a loud, exciting and unique new rock’n’roll band. The band members are Robert Munro Runciman vocals, Michele Camasso (Michelangelo) drums, Raph Tibber lead guitar, Michael Parrett rhythm guitar, and Keith(The Boat) Hill bass, the band have played just four gigs. The last appearance was as support for a Pete Doherty / Carl Barat reunion for a charity gig at the Rhythm Factory in East London at the end of May. Despite their short time together, the young band have managed to form their own strong visual and sonic identity, fusing together elements of 60’s rock, 70’s punk, glam rock, Britpop, American rhythm and blues and psycadelia amongst other genres and styles. THE MUNROES deliver both a dramatic and passionate live show which keeps the audience not only entertained, but thrilled, and a divers and ever expanding repertoire of original material that is refreshingly edgy yet surprisingly commercial. Already interest has been shown from publishers, labels and promoters but as yet THE MUNROES have decided to remain free agents.

I've been doing the MySpace for Chalky, check it out and see if you like...

You are in the top friends at the moment, but I've got 2 promoters who'll have to go up there once they actually get roun to approving their friend requests.

See you in the pub sometime - why don't you come play in April? you're at the the Rhythm Factory on the 16th so the 21st or 29th would probably be best - 29th?
