Old Monk
http://www.myspace.com/oldmonk
After years of writing songs via long distance emails and answering machine recordings, guitarist/vocalist and New Yorker Joshua Carrafa convinced drummer and Coloradan Ian Burns to move to Brooklyn. The two created disjointed rhythms and pop driven rock songs and played around the city's underground venues as Old Monk. After learning that PINE*am's Tsugumi Takashi was living in Brooklyn, the two asked her to join Old Monk on bass duties. Josh, Ian and Tsugumi create wildly energetic rock songs with strong hooks and pop backbones. Old Monk is currently living in Brooklyn and working on their debut album
