POD presents
MONOTONIX
Friday, July 24th
CrawDaddy, Harcourt St, Dublin 2.
Tickets €12 available from Ticketmaster, City Discs, Sound Cellar and usual outlets.
Garage punk trio from Tel Aviv famed for their chaotic on-stage acrobatics and frequent physical contact with the audience, which verges on guitar-rock performance art.
Banned from many venues in their native Israel, the hirsute trio have toured their relentlessly energetic live show extensively throughout the US and Europe, to the amazement of audiences who find themselves heavily involved in the intense performances.
Monotonix’ now infamous live set involves lead singer Ami Shalev climbing any available surface, swinging from fixtures, and generally mauling the very willing onlookers. Performances on stage are rare, with the guys most often opting to play at audience level, or frequently overhead, while they and their instruments are held aloft by the crowd. It’s an experience not to be missed.
Body Language, Monotonix’ debut album, was produced by Tim Green of The Fucking Champs, and was released through Drag City last year.
