Hello East Coast.

Dear World.

Our lives have been moving rapidly during the last three months. After our first tour, our Album is picking up motion and the reviews have been nothing but positive and captivating.

The Metromix recently named our upcoming Album Release Party as a TOP July show. Metromix describes the Monk as, “One of the most intriguing shows they have seen in town.” [ check it out! ]

The A.V. Club says “Michelle Morales and Miles Benjamin manage to wring a lot of emotional heft out of their haunting orchestral rock”… [ read more ]

We are amazed by the talent on our bill as we are being supported by Aleks & The Drummer and Hollows, followed by the fabulous CHIRP Radio spinning tunes in an all out dance party after our performance.

In other TLM news, our weekend was turned upside down into an imaginary world of jesters, dreams, and camera angles. Our first Video shoot took place as Rubbish Films & HYSTK guided us through an experience forever in our memories that we will never forget. We cannot wait for the completed video and are so grateful for the love and support from all the crew and friends who worked endlessly for us last weekend.

Friday night will truly be a celebration of our journey to this point and we will have the opportunity to play in one of the best sounding rooms in the city. Wish us well before we hit the road again on our first East Coast Tour beginning July 8th. Stay tuned for the official announcement and venues..

Bring your masquerade mask and get ready to dance.

Love.

The Loneliest Monk
