At Fun Fun Fun Fest this year, there were very few bands that played the Yellow Stage that was tucked in the back of Waterloo Park. It was instead used for Anarchy Championship Wrestling, hot dog eating contests, jackass-like stunts and comedy. One of the few bands to play that stage? Monotonix, who actually fit right in (note that they played the main stage in the same park at the FFFFest-affiliated Mess With Texas fest during SXSW in 2009 – and they fit in there too).

Monotonix’s sophmore LP, Not Yet, will be out January 25th, 2011 via Drag City – the first single “Give Me More” is available for download above. To support that effort, the nutty band will hit the road to tour first in December, and then again in the new year. Along the way they’ll hit ‘285 Kent Ave’ in Brooklyn with Pujol and Federation X on February 5th.

Even more exciting (for them at least) is that two of their upcoming shows are with Faith No More – one in LA and one in CHILE. Those two dates also happen to be Mike Patton and band’s only scheduled reunion shows left. Their last shows were in Europe, Brooklyn and Philly in July. (UPDATE: Faith No More added a December 1st LA show too)
