All is well and thriving in Monk land.  We have so much to tell you!

First, The Loneliest Monk will battle it out between 5 bands for a spot at this year’s SXSW Festival @ Reggie’s Rock Club on February 12, 2010.  A panel of judges will vote for the top band based on crowd reaction, stage presence, music ability, and overall awesomeness. The winner will perform the Reggie’s Showcase @ the Jackalope stage in Austin, Texas on March 19, 2010. We need your presence and Monk support.  This is an amazing opportunity!  Help us go to the land that is South By Southwest.
