Monks: The TransAtlantic Feedback
Its Monk time! Formed in the mid60s by five American GIs stationed in Germany, the Monks was a shortlived, aheadofitstime conceptual art piece masquerading as a pop group. Heavy on feedback, nihilism and electric banjo, they were billed as the antiBeatles and sported black robes and Franciscan monk haircuts. The group made a splash on German TV, recorded one album and shared the stage with Jimi Hendrix before falling apart and into obscurity. It wasnt until decades later that their album Black Monk Time was rediscovered and hailed as an unsung masterpiece and early presage of punk rock. TransAtlantic Feedback tracks the Monks unusual story and celebrates their idiosyncratic brilliance and impact on modern music. The film unearths great archival footage, reunites the five band members (including Dave Day from the Seattle area who passed away this January) and interviews such fans as Joachim Irmler of Faust, Genesis POrridge of Psychic TV and Throbbing Gristle, and Jon Spencer.Wonderfula long overdue history lesson. ;;; Rolling StoneSponsored by KEXP 90.3 FM

The Monks are one of my favorite obscure 60s discoveries.
