SELECTED PRESS

Wired Online blogged about our tribute to Gary Gygax! ...TWICE!

"Weirder than TMBG and less sinister than Miss Pussycat, the Monsterface dudes are about as close to the early magic of Henson (not Hanson: HENSON) as you're likely to come across in these parts...the dadaist fake-children's-music ... you've been dreaming about. If you take yourself too seriously to fall in love with this band, seek help. " - Boston Phoenix

"...equal parts GWAR, Jim Henson, and rock opera..."-The Charlottesville Hook

"Uncle Monsterface is a multi-media experience, a term that does the surreal phenomenon that is this band no justice...If sock puppets, psychedelic prairie dogs and inflatable lobsters arent your thing, you should probably move along." - musicpost.com

"...what's more fun than a hand in a sock? This is music deemed appropriate for both adults and tykes, although there's nothing childish about the music...excpet that there are sock puppets involved..." - The Boston Globe

-----------------------------
AWESOME FAN-NESS
Some nice people went and made a monsterface myspace fan page . go there for extra special updates and previews from us and perch precariously upon the hub of the wheel-shaped destiny-like thingy that is TEAM monsterface! we need you!

We'll be watching by the light of the moon.

We'll be playing by all of the rules while becoming the wolf after midnight.

By day we'll bulk up and hang by the pool with long wet hair that looks so cool.

We'll be howling by the light of the moon
While biting your neck after midnight.

There was a moment today, when my ipod played DeRockracy after a slew of really depressing songs, when I smiled and realized I FREAKIN' MISS YOU.

Continue to be awesome! (no pressure)

Hey uncle monsterface - sock puppet rock band, hope you're having a great day! Say, do you believe in God? If so, do you think it comes with a tangible science we can hope to understand one day, or should it remain a mystical concept?
