Feed Us A Live Insect

I wish I could have seen this

Mary and Jillinda in the band! Plus a boatload of friends...holy moley, what a sound!

Correction

It was pointed out to me that I have in fact played a solo show fairly recently, at the moustache circus. I had forgotten about that. However, as I was standing on top of a picnic table and screaming over the noise of a crowd that was not listening, and clawing away at a guitar I could not hear, I guess I had blotted that incident from my memory. Does that count as a "show"?

$10 list for the Leslie & The LY's show

We have a couple of discount slots for the March 4 show at the Echoplex with Leslie & The LY's--$10 instead of $13--please email us [mail at themonolators dot com] or send a facebook message or what have you with your name(s) if you'd like to be on the list.

This sounds like my dreams:

Monolators w. Leslie & The LY's at the Echoplex

Yah, you know who I'm talking about:

Her. Monolators will open for Leslie & The LY's at the Echoplex on Thursday, March 4. We will go on 1st, so, 9pm. I am very excited, but lord, I have NO IDEA WHAT TO WEAR. Can we compete? HOW?

Solo show! Plus Mary & Jillinda w. Tenlons Fort

Hi all--

A little note--Mary and Jillinda (among others) are going to be playing a couple of shows as part of Jack Gibson/Tenlons Fort's band in the next couple of days--on Sunday the 28th at Pehrspace, and then on Wedneday March 3 at Synchronicity Space for Jack's record release show! Please come, I've heard the record and it is sweeeeeeeet!

ALSO--Jack is gonna screen part of a movie he's working on at the new Silver Factory space on Tuesday March 2nd, and he asked me (Eli Monolator) to play a solo set. To which I said, sure. Except that I haven't played solo in front of people for something like...um...15 years? So--this should be interesting! I'm gonna play some monolators stuff, some cobra lilies stuff (but heavily re-arranged, as you might imagine), and maybe a few new things I'm working on.

Silver Factory Studios has moved since it was shut down a few months back--I am told the new address is 4310 W. Jefferson Blvd. L.A. 90016. I don't have a set time yet but will report back as soon as I do.

This Is Rock And Roll

Yes. Yes it is.

The Smell this Friday!

I have to point out that we have NEVER EVER PLAYED THE SMELL before! We are extremely excited for this one--which is our only show for February. All ages! $5! Dig the poster!

Monolators on This Ain't A Scene

A very, very nice interview/feature on volume 5 of Ben Hoste's This Ain't A Scene is up. Although--I don't know about...this:

"Their home is not messy, quite the contrary, it's very clean..."

Er...hmm.

On the Huffington Post

That's right. The BEST BAND(S) IN LA. It says so right here. You think I'm making this up? THINK AGAIN. Punk.

So anyways--a really nice interview/writeup from Jonathan Kim of Huffington Post is up. Please check it out, and thank you Jonathan!

Cobra Lilies this Wednesday at the Echo

Cobra Lilies has always been a one-show-a-month proposition, and I am pleased to say that this month's show is nearly upon us. The Lilies will play this Wednesday at the Echo with Pizza!, Findlay Brown, and Superhumanoids. We go on 2nd (at 10pm). LA Underground is presenting and I am pleased to say we have special antics for you if you come, plus edible treats. Trust us. You will like.
