Monitor: Tuesday

Tuesday, monitor stylee..

Monitor @ VRP 5

Shambolic.. That was probably the most honest reaction I heard after the Monitor set last week. It's not unusual for things to go wrong during a show, and there are a myriad of possibilities: leads losing contact, strings breaking, dodgy mixes with no-one looking out, unpaid stage dancers having cat fights.. This time lots of things went west, but luckily none of them dampened spirits or took away from the energy as the band ripped through their up-tempo set of electro-pop loveliness..

Valentine Records Presents vol. 5

Valentine Records is presenting yet another extravaganza of amazing talent on Friday May 23rd at everyones favorite Ruby Room. Kohei from Come to my Party made this super cool cm for the event.

We hopes you like it!

Tasuichi

Tasuichi is a standing bar at the end of centregai in Shibuya, it's famous for its 300 yen beer and vibrant atmosphere. Most weekends it fills up with all sorts of people, often starting a big night. It's also the place where my infamous 'Kurt vs the Tongan' video was filmed, which last night I was actually asked to delete by the big guy himself. I will sadly delete the vid as per his request, but I will give it a send off here and hopefully a few more people will get a laugh out of it before I do..

Monitor live: Courage to Escape

Here's 'Courage to Escape' from VRP 4..

We are Monitor

Monitor live @ VRP 4: NY Bitch

For me, the best songs are about real experiences that people have, that are then translated into music and lyrics, which in turn become a kind of vehicle for others to relate to. Unfortunately it's often the bad stuff that happens that inspires great songs.

Ladies and gentlemen, NY Bitch...

Monitor @ VRP 4

Valentine Records Presents vol. 4 last night was awesome. We managed to stream the show live for the first time and were really happy to see some friends and family from far off places tuning in for the event. There's lots of pics and video of all of the bands to come, but for the moment, here's some Monitor for ya...
