When you follow The Monks, you’ll get access to exclusive messages from the artist and comments from fans. You’ll also be the first to know when they release new music and merch.
Formed in 1964 by 5 American GIs in Germany the Monks started off as a trad rock n roll outfit playing the standard beat music of the day.
Fortunately the band was comprised of highly imaginative musicians. Tiring of the expected format they began experimenting with their sound focusing almost solely on rhythm. In '66 they released their lone classic album, Black Monk Time and disbanded in '67.
