The Monks (the band) on screen at the CC Library!
Posted by T. Ballard Lesemann on Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 4:59 PM
Wow, they put The Monks on film! Not the devout, religious kind — but, rather, the noisy, garage-band, weird musical kind. The Charleston County Public Library (the main one at 68 Calhoun St.) screens the new film Monks: The Transatlantic Feedback — an internationally awarded new documentary film on the obscure but totally vital and noisy ’60s rock band — on Sat. Nov. 8 at 2 p.m. Filmmakers Dietmar Post and Lucia Palacios (pictured at right with lead singer Gary Burger) released the film in Europe this fall.
The Monks were five American ex-GIs who formed a garage/mod rock band in 1964 in Köln, Germany, wore black robes or suits, and performed with their heads shaved in monk-like tonsures.
Most of The Monks reunited in 1999 and have continued to play concerts. Call (843) 805-6842 or visit www.ccpl.org for more.
