Die Monitr Batss

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

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' horns, angular guitars, droning choppy guitar lines, and female to male vocals sting you with repetition and their fucked time changes.

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 ]
