The Monks, referred to by the name monks on record sleeves, were an American garage rock band formed in Gelnhausen, West Germany in 1964. Assembled by five American GIs stationed in the country, the group grew tired of the traditional format of rock, which motivated them to forge a highly experimental style characterized by an emphasis on hypnotic rhythms that minimized the role of melody, augmented by the use of sound manipulation techniques. The band's unconventional blend of shrill vocals, confrontational lyrics, feedback, and guitarist David Day's six-string banjo baffled audiences, but music historians have since identified the Monks as a pioneering force in avant-garde music. The band's lyrics often voiced objection to the Vietnam War and the dehumanized state of society, while prefi

  • Οι Monks ήταν συγκρότημα Αμερικανών που σχηματίστηκαν στη Γερμανία το 1964. Διαλύθηκαν το 1967 και ανασυγκροτήθηκαν το 1999 δίνοντας συναυλίες μέχρι σήμερα. (el)
  • The Monks (deutsch: „Die Mönche“) waren eine einflussreiche Rockband, die zwischen 1964 und 1967 in der damaligen Bundesrepublik aktiv war. Die Garagenband bestand aus in Deutschland stationierten US-Soldaten. Zwischen 1999 und 2007 gab die Gruppe wieder gemeinsam Konzerte. Mit ihrer innovativen und experimentellen Rockmusik unterschieden sich die Monks deutlich von anderen Bands ihrer Zeit. Sie gelten heute unter Musikern und Fans als Wegbereiter des Punk und beeinflussten nachfolgende Künstler wie Henry Rollins, die Beastie Boys, Jello Biafra, die White Stripes oder The Fall. (de)
  • The Monks fu un gruppo musicale attivo negli anni sessanta e fondato in Germania da cinque militari americani di stanza a Francoforte. Il loro unico album, Black Monk Time, è considerato un capolavoro del periodo e ispiratore di band come Sex Pistols e Clash. (it)
  • The Monks var ett garagerockband som bestod av amerikanska soldater som var baserade i Västtyskland från mitten till slutet av 1960-talet. Bandet återförenades 1999 och fortsatte att spela konserter, men inga nya studioalbum har gjorts. The Monks stack ut från den tidens musik och har utvecklat en kultstatus bland många musiker och musikfans. (sv)

  • The Monks est un groupe américain de garage rock, originaire de Gelnhausen, en Allemagne de l'Ouest. Gary Burger, Dave Day, Eddie Shaw, Larry Clark et Roger Johnston, sont à l’origine cinq GI américains basés à Gelnhausen en 1963. Après leur sortie de l’armée, ils restent en Allemagne où ils forment un groupe d’abord appelé The Torquays, puis The Monks, et jouent sur les scènes locales, notamment à l’Odéon Keller à Heidelberg.

  • The Monks waren een Amerikaanse garagerockband. De band werd in 1964 als de 5 Torquays opgericht in Gelnhausen in West-Duitsland door Amerikaanse soldaten die daar gestationeerd waren. De band conformeerde zich niet aan de tradities van beatmuziek uit die tijd en koos voor een experimentele benadering. Hierdoor groeiden The Monks uit tot pioniers van avant-gardemuziek. De liedteksten waren maatschappijkritisch; de nummers gingen over de Vietnamoorlog en de staat waarin de maatschappij verkeerde, waarmee ze een voorschot namen op de anti-establishment van de punk in de jaren 1970 en 1980. Hun experimentele aard werd nog eens benadrukt door de wijze waarop de bandleden optraden, gekleed als monniken wat in die tijd als controversieel werd gezien. (nl)
  • The Monks, foi uma banda de rock americana dos anos 60. Tiveram uma das carreiras mais curiosas do rock (não confundir com os Monkees). O The Monks tinha uma musicalidade animalesca e alegre. Como muitas bandas de garagem americanas desta epoca, eram inquietos em testar novos timbres e instrumentos. Apesar de serem norte-americanos, formaram a banda enquanto prestavam o serviço militar numa base americana situada na Alemanha. O som da bateria soava como uma marcha militar misturada com “Polka”, muito “feedback” de guitarra, e ainda um banjo elétrico. Se apresentavam vestidos de monges e tinham um corte de cabelo igual ao dos monges fransciscanos. Infelizmente o grupo acabou prematuramente em 1967, e os EUA sempre ignorou a originalidade da música dos Monks. São tidos até hoje como precurso (pt)
