Biography

Brampton, ON, Canada (1999 – present)

Moneen is a band from Brampton, ON, Canada. Formed in 1999 after the dissolution of another band named Perfectly Normal, the original members included Kenny Bridges (vocals and guitar), Chris “Hippy” Hughes (vocals, guitar), Peter Krpan (drums) and Mark Bowser (bass). In 2001, Bowser was replaced by the enigmatic “Nu Chris”, who was subsequently replaced by Erik Hughes. Moneen put out their first releases on Smallman Records, 1999’s Smaller Chairs for the Early 1900’s EP and 2001’s The Theory of Harmonial Value. In 2002, the band signed to Vagrant Records, maintaining Smallman Records as their Canadian distributor. The Trever Keith-produced Are We Really Happy With Who We Are Right Now? was released in July 2003, and was the band’s introduction to most American listeners, chock-full of their trademarks: uncommon jazz extensions, frequent meter changes, absurdly long song titles, etc. The band’s follow-up, The Red Tree, arrived in April 2006, and features more compact compositions than the band’s previous releases. A companion DVD titled It All Started With A Red Stripe was released in May 2008 featuring video diaries from their US and Canadian tour, concert footage from their show at the Mod Club in Toronto, as well as a documentary that features the making of The Red Tree.

    They should've supported AOF also at the London concerts. Or atleast come to Europe in 2013! : )

    it'd be nice if these guys ditched the whole adult soft-rock thing the last album had. they're very talented and a fun album from them would be sweet

    @nap Yeah The Red Tree is their best. But The world I Want to Leave Behind has my favourite moneen song: The glasshouse. Amazing drumming, catchy chorus, and an insanely energetic ending.
