Die Monitr Batss
A spin-off from the formidable blues-punk of the Gossip, Olympia, WA's Die Monitr Batss feature that group's guitarist Nathan as its singer/guitarist. Unlike the Gossip, however, the sound of Die Monitr Batss -- which also includes saxophonist Nate; guitarist/singer Brace; drummer Chris; and Lana, also a singer -- owes more to no wave and art punk influences like Mars and Teenage Jesus & the Jerks. In 2002, the group released a split 7" with the like-minded Chromatix on the GSL imprint, and the following year issued the {^Spread Your L...[more]

Teenage Jesus and The Jerks, Mars, and early '80s no-wave outfits have plopped a godsend child out of Olympia, WA, calling themselves Die Monitr Batss.

Die Monitr Batss TMU debut is a true classic in the making. Born out of Portland, Oregon and featuring members of the Gossip and Sleetmute Nightmute- DMB bring to mind late 70's NYC. Picture a slightly modern version of Teenage Jesus and the Jerks...Drop them on a show with them in 1978 and you would never know the difference! They contain absolutely no dance-punk but instead pack a mean punch with a combination of angular guitars and warped sax....The sound is definitely more mature than their debut releas [ read more ]
