SOUTHSIDE TANYA VEGA reviews MONK 9 at PEACE
FEST CHICAGO June 19th 2011
On Sunday, SouthSide rocked part of the afternoon at the final day
of Chicago Peace Fest 2011 beginning with her good friends, Monk 9
(http://www.monk9.com) who kicked off the long lineup of hot local
music. This rockin' costumed duo performed another electrifying set
of space experimental/psychedelia music featuring songs like Down
With Me and Nasty Girl in which this reviewer highly suggests
checking out their YouTube hit about Charlie Sheen (it's nose candy,
blogspot readers) and their Neil Diamond cover of Love On The Rocks.

SOUTHSIDE TANYA VEGA reviews MONK 9 at the
EXIT Chicago Feb 9th 2011
This popular duo known as
Monk 9
made another stellar appearance as well as performance during the
music portion of the Cavalcade. They rocked the upstairs of The Exit
with its hardcore electro/funk rock groove which certainly had the
audience mesmerized by the unique sound.
Monk's
music always performed under a vibrant guitar (electric/bass
combined) riffs and percussion rhythms. SouthSide has seen this duo
rock the stage more than twice ...and each time they add something
new and/or different to their set. This time,
Monk
added a lively yet funkified soul sound to two Rolling Stones
classics - Sympathy For The Devil
and Heartbreaker.
Both songs combined were done more reverently than originally
intended but drawing out the soul/R&B sound without tainting its
rock-n-roll roots. Plus it highlighted
Monk's
(the groovy guy on guitar) vocals within a soulful vibe ...hopefully
there will be more moments like this one, blogspot readers, in which
we see the soulful side to
Monk 9
under an electric funk cloud. Everyone was
Get(ting) Down Tonight
(the duo's smokin' hot KC & the Sunshine Band cover) with them as
they closed their performance with SouthSide's favorite,
Nasty Girl.
It's highly recommended that blogspot readers check out the
electrifying modern version of the Jimi Hendrix-esque experience
known as Monk 9.

the stage again.
SOUTHSIDE TANYA VEGA reviews MONK 9 at The
Abby Pub Jan 14 2011
Monk 9 dazzled the crowded pub with a rockin', high energy
psychedelic/hardcore two-man show. And it's not just the music that
will attract you, blogspot readers. Dig the crazy costumes in which
they rock the stage with blood-curdling riffs and percussion rhythms
...lots of vibrant sound to keep you groovin' to the beat. Liston to
their songs Nasty Girl and Leave Me Alone as well as a rockin'
version of KC and the Sunshine Band's Get Down Tonight.
