   About Uncle Monk
Uncle Monk is an alt-country/indie-bluegrass duo featuring Tommy Ramone on vocals, mandolin, guitar, banjo and dobro, and Claudia Tienan on vocals, guitar and bass. Uncle Monk's music is rooted in old-time and bluegrass influences. To this mix they have added unique musical textures to create a sound with a new sensibility. Tommy Ramone began his musical career as Tom Erdelyi an engineer at the Record Plant recording studios. In the musical doldrums of the 70's he, along with the great Johnny, Joey and Dee Dee Ramone, formed the rock group Ramones and participated in the birth of New Wave, Punk Rock, and Alternative music. As manager, producer and drummer for the band, Tommy Ramone helped create the sound, style and ideology for what was to become modern rock. Claudia Tienan, formerly with the group The Simplistics, is a partner with Tommy Ramone in Uncle Monk. Her penetrating lyrics and haunting vocals add facets and dimension to the songs. The music of the two artist complement each other. There is a Yin and Yang sensibility at work, a touch of light and dark, of bitter and sweet. *************************************************************** Uncle Monk CD ...> UNCLE MONK: Uncle Monk Also on iTUNES etc..... album cover *************************************************************** *************************************************************** UNCLE MONK "LONG GONE" ON WOODSONGS OLD-TIME RADIO HOUR 439 *************************************************************** ************************************************************** Uncle Monk "Long Journey Home" on Mark Kostabi's "Title This" TV show ************************************************************** ************************************************************** Uncle Monk "Mr. Endicott" on Mark Kostabi's "Title This" TV show ************************************************************** Photobucket

howdy
i just wanted to say that i'm a huge fan of your drumming techniques that you used in the Ramones. I'm in a band myself, and i have learned that songs that are orchestrated are very neat yes, but at the same time, simplicity always gets you further. The Ramones were proof of that, as well as AC/DC the Misfits and the list goes on and on. And that is why i keep it simple.

Hey Tommy and Claudia! Sorry I missed you when you were in KC. We were on the road. I read in an article that y'all did a Wilders cover -- awesome! What song are you doing?

Hope all is going great with your musical adventures. Hope to see you again soon.

DAMN TOMMY,FROM THE RAMONES TO UNCLE MONK MAKES SO MUCH SENCE TOO ME..YOU ARE STILL KEEPIN' IT REAL AS CAN BE..GENRES BE DAMNED, GOOD MUSIC IS GOOD MUSIC. THE FACT THAT YOU ARE CARRYIN' ON THE FLAME OF GOOD AND TRUE AMERICAN MUSIC TODAY (JUST AS YOU WERE WITH THE RAMONES) IS AN INSPIRATION TO ALL OF US ROAD DOG TROUBADORS. I PRAY WE CAN SHARE A STAGE SOMEDAY OUT ON THAT LOST HIGHWAY. THAT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER THEN JOHNNY PISSIN' IN THAT HACK JOHN LYDON'S BEER.
