LINEUP: Monk

REVIEW BY: Listees

greetings all,

 the cat is out of the bag. tonight at the York St Cafe, monk will perform
the entire Beatle's Revolver record, from start to finish, in order.

October 27th - MONK MUSICAL MASK concert. In honor of Halloween, Monk will
borrow a page from the "phish" book and don a musical mask. For our second
set, we will perform AN ENTIRE RECORD by another band. We'll be augmenting
the band with another guitarist, a piano player and an entire string quartet.
"Which record?" you ask... its a secret, but we'll provide you with some
clues as the date approaches. So keep an eye on the website. Space is limited
to around 200 so feel free to order tickets online via PayPal.com. This event
is almost sure to sell out. We are also making a special t-shirt for this
event. There will only be a total of 20 shirts for sale at the show, so plan
ahead, if you want to get one. York st cafe. Tickets $10. 859.261.york

Yep, they played the original Revolver album, with all the tracks, in order.
  Earlier they played Monk stuff (first set).  Second set was
start-to-finish, no extended jams or anything.

There was a string quartet and the band musicians included Mike Georgian,
Josh Suerkamp (no idea what his last name is, I just made that up but I
think it's close), some guitarist from a local band that I can't remember
now, and a keyboardist that Rick Casinelli knew.  Brian Kelley drummed for
the Monk material in the first set.  Very fun show.

He stopped E. Rigby just after starting, 'cos his vocals were so off-key,
but then he fixed that.  And another (track 8, I think) after the first
chorus, and they restarted that.  The sound was really good, and that's a
great album to cover; wide array of material, mostly upbeat.

They had Monk t-shirts in a Beatle-art style.

Big crowd, but unusual for that place; seemed older or something.

     The keyboardist was Rick Fields.  He recently made a
CD with Jim Wilson (photographer Michael Wilson's brother)
_finishing school_ in a band called the Perkolaters.  He
often plays for Blue Jordan (http://bluejordan.com)
artist Janet Pressley who has helped other local
musicians for years.

     Dave Eberhardt -- I think that is the correct
spelling -- was the lead guitarist from Katie Reider and
Lux.  If you go to the Monk / Katie Reider Christmas show
on Friday 15 December you will see him play.  The second
percussionist, Josh Suerkamp, also plays with Katie Reider
and Janet Pressley and many other people.

     Jim Feist, tabla player, was supposed to be there
according to the local paper, but he was not there.

     Ric Hordinski and Mike bass-is-good Georgin really
jam well together, they are a perfect match.

     The t-shirts had a Yellow Submarine design.
