Monsters are not Myths
510 plays (29 listeners)
The Bay Area indie band combines rock, folk, blues and an insatiable appetite for the ridiculous. Featuring dancing bears, inflatable guitar solos, and audience cowbell competitions, a Monsters are not Myths show is more than great music…it’s an experience that is never quite the same.
While aurally similar to Wilco, Nirvana, Spoon and Ryan Adams, the band is just as quick to cite entertainment influences like Andy Kaufman, The Dana Carvey Show, and the legendary live shows of the Barenaked Ladies.
With their new album, Corporate Grown, the band captures the humor, fun, and raw emotion of their live show on disc. From the sometimes comic travails of a desk job in Silicon Valley (LED, IV) to the seething plea for nostalgia in OldSoul, the band keeps you on your toes. “Republican Girls” recounts the tragic story liberal boy meets conservative girl, while “Burrito in my Heart”, the final song on the album, is a drinking song for the ages.
Corporate Grown, will be released on October 9, 2009 and will be available to buy on iTunes and CD Baby as well as independent retailers throughout California. Tour and showcase gigs are planned for fall 2009.
