This is the most bizarre thing I have ever seen.

The Monks were always an acquired taste even for garage band fans in the 60s.

Oh, I think I can fix that.  No Gibson content, but there is banjo.

Chicago and BS&T are good examples of brass-backed rock bands that played extremely well and very tight.  When I listen to their recordings, I'm always struck by how incredibly well they synced and played together. 

The rock bands with brass sections seem to have fallen out of favor....and that's a shame.

You have a point there. And on a non-pro level: Impossible to get everyone together for a rehearsal.

But a sharp horn section is something. Adds dynamics and rhythmic emphasis to music like very little other. I love those fancy brass arrangements that populated the BS&T albums.

The other thing about a horn section is that it will bring discipline to a bass player in a hurry.  There are generally no holes to fill, so you'd best find the pocket and work from there.  It's a whole different approach from a power trio.

And Jim Fielder is quite a bass player of course. Too bad he didn't play Gibsons though ... :mrgreen:

 Nope I think the Monks are weirder than this. The Monks are trying to make it on a pop music show. It's plain these guys don't care about making it. Having said that I like them a lot!

These guys have been around for over a decade in Cincinnati.  At one point, they were ready for a huge marketing blitz, complete with licensed comic books and the whole deal.  They don't play often anymore, but their shows tend to be big events.

Just found this. Andy Fraser playing an EB-2. Super fat tone but still sounds like AF.

I'm the card-carrying, flag-waving Carmenite here, but my hunch is that everyone else here thinks their idiosyncratic and eclectic mix of Spanish folk, prog abandon and edgy hard rock just plain bonkers! Maybe they are too ahead of their time still. Having Amanda Lear announce your TV debut can't have helped either.
