Garage Bands # 9 The Monks

 
One of the oddest, most left-field of all Garage Bands and one of the very best. A group set up in Germany and made up of American GIs. With the full regulation monk hairdos and outfits and a quite unique Proto-Punk sound. Their legend has grown steadily since and they reformed in 1999. Jack White, The Fall and Jon Spencer by their own admission owe them. A quite brilliant and ground-breaking band. A great set of clips on them playing on mid-Sixties German TV Beat Shows. Enjoy!
 
1. Complication
 
 
2. Monk Chant
 
 
3. Oh How To Do Now
 
 
4. Cuckoo
 
 
5. Boys Are Boys and Girls Are Choice
 
You get a German weather report at the end of this.
