Monotonix - new album, Siren Fest & 2009 tour dates w/ Turbo Fruits (Santos Party House & Market Hotel)

Monotonix

Monotonix are playing the free Siren Festival in Coney Island on July 18th (this Saturday). They’ll surely be responsible for one of the most memorable sets of the day, though possibly not for their songs.

This fall, the band will set out on tour in support of their debut LP, Where Were You When It Happened?, which comes out September 8th on Drag City. The cover art (above) seems like a perfect match for a band whose antics include wearing hardly any clothes, mooning the crowd, and, just generally being hairy guys. The tour’s NYC stops include a show at Santos Party House on October 9th and the Market Hotel on October 10th. Tickets for the Santos show are on sale now.

Monotonix tour-mates Turbo Fruits (who are playing Mercury Lounge this Saturday, July 18th – same day as Siren) are confirmed as the opener for Santos and elsewhere on tour. As mentioned many times before, Jonas Stein and John Eatherly of Be Your Own Pet play in Turbo Fruits. BYOP member Jemina Pearl is now solo, and was last seen playing an opening set on the Williamsburg Waterfront this past Sunday.
