We are overly excited to present Monotonix live at Black Tape on Fri
9th May.
One of Andy L's favourite shows at SXSW last month (where they seemed
to be talked about everywhere) the Monotonix live experience is
perfect for Henry's, where their ridiculously high-energy,
confrontational approach will go down a treat.
Hailing from Tel Aviv, Israel, a city not famous for its rock n roll
scene, this garage-rock 3-piece formed in November 2005, set up on the
floor of a club amongst the audience, and the party began. The catch
being that the party usually got too wild, the power got cut, the cops
were called and Monotonix were banned from playing again almost
everywhere in Tel Aviv. Before long, they were looking for good places
to play outside of Israel. The band have spent the last year or more
touring incessantly around North America and a bit of Europe,
supporting the likes of Silver Jews, Queens Of The Stone Age, Bonnie
'Prince' Billy, The Thermals and Dark Meat.
But what of the tunes? Massive, is the answer. Raw, melodic, danceable
and satisfyingly heavy. Their forthcoming EP on Drag City "Body
Language" (produced by Tim Green of the Fucking Champs) sounds almost
like a Monotonix show. What you can't hear is, as one astounded
blogger put it, 'the sound of your heart beating in your ears after
having been chased around the room by a vocalist with his pants
literally on fire'. If by now the Monotonix live show does not sound
like an eye-watering, undergarment-dampening prospect then you may
want to consult your GP.
Some quotes:
"Think guitar riffs like Death from Above 1979, but less pretty-boy
attitude." --The Seattle Stranger
"Grand-Funk-meets-Fugazi fury." --Noise Pop
"Like Ozzy singing for The Black Keys" --Daytrotter
"It makes the Black Keys sound like Duke Ellington, while evoking R.L.
Burnside, Black Flag and Gogol Bordello in profoundly disturbing ways"
-- TimeOut Chicago

Monotonix will bring their riotous brand of garage rock to Henry's for
a very special night indeed. Expect crowd-surfing, huge riffage and
general destruction, with a large twist of fun.
As usual we will have our eclectic mix of guest DJs, and if you want
to have a go (no experience necessary), email us at
he...@blacktapeclub.co.uk with a sample playlist.
9th May also sees the return of our fabulous usherettes after a
hiatus, serving up the best sweets and cake to get you hyped up on
sugar and e-numbers.

About Black Tape:
"It's democracy on the dancefloor, as punters get an opportunity to
play half hour slots of Indie/Electro/Punk/Soul/Hip Hop and anything
else they fancy. Anything goes if it's good! Email
he...@blacktapeclub.co.uk to get involved."
None of this glamourous DJ nonsense. None of the bandwagon jumping. We
play good music. And YOU can too.
Think of a new track you're bursting to share with the rest of the
world. Think of those amazing early tracks by bands that now fill
bloated stadiums. Think of those tunes you used to wait all night for
in clubs that have disappeared out of fashion. Think of a divine mix
of indie, classic pop, rock, soul, electro, punk, electronica, hip hop
and everything in between that leaves you in a heap on the dancefloor
at the end of the night. Black Tape plays these tracks, and then asks
YOU to have a go at playing them yourself. Remember what it feels like
to finish a mix tape for a friend and look at the tracklisting and
just wish you could broadcast it to the entire world? Well now you
can, at least to a bunch of like-minded people in a club.
We are giving half-hour DJ slots to anyone that wants one - providing
you can make an impression and make people dance. If YOU want to DJ at
Black Tape, please email us at he...@blacktapeclub.co.uk with a sample
list of tunes you might play, or bring us along a CD to one of our
nights.
