 “Funk-rock at its alternatively freest” - Devon Jackson, FreelanceMusic Journalist and contributor to Rolling Stone Magazine. “I get the feeling this group of guys are not really monks as we know them. I think more along the lines of religiously playing music that you want to hear. Their combination of catchy riffs and blend of Alternative and Prog Rock will bend your ears and mind. It's entertainment at its very best and the musicianship can be appreciated as well”. - MuzikReview’s.com The Monks of Mellonwah are a four-piece alternative rock and indie band based in Sydney. The depth and variety of influences driving each member has led to the formation of a unique sound, blending elements of classic blues & rock in Hendrix, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and the Chili Peppers with more recent sounds including Muse. Their first E.P., Stars Are Out, is testament to such a unique blend, and has been highly praised since its release in 2010. Since the recording, the Monks have gone from strength to strength, receiving radio play for Swamp Groove, Fire in the Hole and The Calling whilst developing an electrifying and atmospheric live act through supporting bands such as Thirsty Merc and headlining at a wide range of well respected Australian music venues including The Factory and The Metro Theatre's. The Monks recently released their first music video 'Swamp Groove which has since enjoyed rotation on ABC's music program RAGE. Swamp Groove also claimed first prize at a music video night at ‘Harold's Shorts’ short film festival, receiving great reviews and the award from legendary music historian and personality Glenn A Baker. Now the band are ready to release 3 brand new tracks; Kyoto, You Shine and Neurogenesis which will all form part of their up and coming debut album; set for completion by the end of 2011. These songs continue to show the bands versatility and quality in song writing and musicianship. The Monks of Mellonwah are soon to be featured in an up and coming radio documentary celebrating 25 years for ABC’s RAGE. |
