monks (60s garage)

[SkanDuck]

Насклько я знаю, чертовски редкая группа. Я слышал кое-что у них, очень, мол, круто. За сим, может есть у кого? *несильно расчитываю на успех, еси честно)*

One of the strangest stories in rock history, the Monks were formed in the
early '60s by American GIs stationed in Germany. After their discharge, the
group stayed on in Germany as the Torquays, a fairly standard beat band. After
changing their name to the Monks in the mid-'60s, they also changed their
music, attitude, and appearance radically. Gone were standard oldie covers,
replaced by furious, minimalist original material that anticipated the blunt,
harsh commentary of the punk era. Their insistent rhythms recalled martial
beats and polkas as much as garage rock, and the weirdness quotient was
heightened by electric banjo, berserk organ runs, and occasional bursts of
feedback guitar. To prove that they meant business, the Monks shaved the top
of their heads and performed their songs - crude diatribes about the Vietnam
war, dehumanized society, and love/hate affairs with girls - in actual monks'
clothing.
This was pretty strong stuff for 1966 Germany, and their shocking repertoire
and attire were received with more confusion than hostility or warm praise.
Well known in Germany as a live act, their sole album and several singles
didn't take off in a big way and were never released in the U.S., it was
rumored, because the lyrical content was deemed too shocking. They disbanded
in confusion around 1967, but their album - one of the most oddball
constructions in all of rock - gained a cult following among collectors, and
has ironically made them much more popular and influential on an international
level than they were during their lifetime. Bassist Eddie Shaw's 1994
autobiography, Black Monk Time, is a fascinating narrative of the Monks'
stranger-than-fiction story.
