- NOISE -- Jerry "Day" Havlicek (Loud), 13:00:43 04/27/12 Fri
If the Monks were known for anything, it was there ability to be LOUD.
The message board has been quite as a monastery for too long now. What;s the good word my Monk uncles? How is 2012 treating you?
Any new Monk fans out there? What;re the old fans up to?
I turned 50 this week and made me think about how time flies. It has already been almost 13 years since I saw the monks at cavestomp. Couldn;t believe it has been that long.
Anyway, wanted to try to kickstart this confessional off and get in gear for 2012. Lets make some noise!
Jerry
ps. i used semi-colons instead of apostrophes in remembrance of my dad.

Dayum, is all I can say. Noticed something on the LITA vinyl issue that I've not heard yet in all the other versions and places to listen...in Shut Up where they pushed the bass up right alongside Larry's solo - and this is on the dinkiest version of the little Bose cube speakers (with a sub of course) - something new every time...I continue to hit a Monks tune every single week on my Internet show, and it's always well received and often discussed in the chatroom. Working on a sketch comedy album with some of my fellow comedy, um, musicians, will see how that comes out (Firesign meets Gilbert Gottfried with a touch of Steven Wright). Coming to Minneapolis in March for a live Power Salad performance at Marscon and a visit to the Pavek Museum of Broadcasting. Oh yeah. Happy New Year to Eddie, Gary & Larry, and may we all continue to be monks.

- Walther Niemann & Wolfgang Gluszczewski -- Gary, 08:14:39 10/15/09 Thu
Walther Niemann: I first met him in Stuggart in the mid 60s. He and Karl Remy came into the Rio bar where the Torquays were playing and soon gave us the "Monk pitch." We bought it. History will tell you that. As time went on and I was able to sort out my feelings about these young, upstart Germany guys and the rest of their management team (Kicki & Guenther Aulich), it didn't take long to zero in on Walther as the one I could talk to easiest. He was patient and quiet when Remy was impatient and forceful. Walther did his best to understand us as individuals. He was interesting to talk with and he always had constructive things to say. In the end, when the management team disintegrated, Walther Niemann was the only one who kept coming to the Monks with constructive and timely advice. He was a prince and a sweet, sweet man. I spoke with him quite often in recent years and met with himn in Gelhausen, Germany in 2006 and he continued to be a pillar of sound advice and support as we discussed a future project. He was my mentor, he was my teacher, he was my friend. Long live the memory of Walther Niemann. The world is a poorer placy without him. He was a kind and caring person. Walther Niemann, I will miss you very much.
Wolfgang Gluszczewski: In the last year or so of the Monk existence, our management team attempted to solve the cash flow problems the Monks were having by taking on a booking agent. His name was Wolfgang Gluszczewki. The Monks were in a funny position, we were very well known in Germany and Scandinavia but it was hard to make a living playing the few serious gigs that came our way. Wolfgang came to help solve that problem plus he arrived with a sidekick (Volker)who turned out to be a great driver and road manager sort of fellow.. a great person in his own right. We quickly came to know Wolfgang as a very good booking agent and a fellow with a terrific sense of humor. He often traveled with us or showed up at our venues with enthusiasm and a clear sense of support for the Monks. He quickly became a Monk favorite and another good person we could turn to with our problems. When he came to the Monk family our real work began. He booked many, many one-nighters and we often found ourselves traveling many miles everyday to meet these booking obligations. It was a lifesaver as we found ourselves with a bit more jingle in our pockets but it was also stressful and tiring. Wolfgang was always optimistic and supportive. He was a fine person and his passing saddens me. I have the consolation that he was able to see the Monks playing at the Volksbuhne in Berlin in 2006. That was a most memorable reunion for all of us involved: The Monks Polydor producer - Jimmy Bowien, Manager Walther Niemann and Wolfgang Gluszczewski with his lovely wife Anni were all in attendance. It was like a lovely homecoming for all of us and it is sad that both Walther, Wolfgang, Dave Day and Roger Johnston are no longer with us to make and enjoy Monk music. Their memories will live long with me. Peace to all.

- It is a Monk Time indeed... -- John (nostalgic), 12:02:33 10/11/09 Sun
Hi there guys,
I just saw the movie on you... took me quite a bit back in time. The first time I heard of you was in 2006 (I think) when my then girlfriend showed me an article about you that was run in a german newspaper. My best friends also were fans of you, and I kicked myself back then that I was unable to see you live when you played in Berlin... still do... Your music is an inspiration, and for somebody who's 24, it still sounds like fun, it still makes me happy. So, I want to say thank you all so much for that. I'm terribly sad that Roger and Dave are no longer with us and that I'll never witness the Monks live, but your music lives inside me, and in all the other kids who'll pick up and listen to your music.
Thanks a lot and take care,
John

- Walther Niemann -- Eddie, 05:45:01 10/09/09 Fri
I received a forwarded message from the niece of Walther Niemann, our manager, that he passed away on 9/18/09 from a heart attack at his home in Sulzfeld Germany.
When I first met Walther Niemann in Stuttgart, in 1965, I was unprepared for the influential role he would play in my life. For the first two years, I knew him, he advised our group, the Monks, in which I played bass. His expertise in art and business helped to create a "rock" group that went beyond the limits of the day. He was a caring man who spoke to each person on an individual and personal level. He was a manager and a peace maker.
As I had been a musician before I had come to Germany, he and I had enthusiastic conversations about the influential musicians of the day. He could discuss John Coltrane and Miles Davis as well as any jazz critic. Regarding the music of our group, he and I discussed concepts like minimalism; the evolution of art and the power of the word, For forty years after the Monks were disbanded,, he and I continued our friendship; and he continued to advise me when I discussed my ongoing musical projects. We spoke to each other on the telephone, thousands of miles apart. In 2003 I visited him in Wurzburg. I enjoyed hearing him describe his newest interests, like the Polish composer Henryk Gorecki or the French composer Olivier Maessian. They became my favorite composers. He introduced me to concepts like Gestalt and loop based music construction, long before the computer and electronic music came into existence. He was not a person of confined interests. For him, music made by an instrument, invented just days before, was just as important as music played on traditional instruments invented hundreds of years ago. He was a man of many interests, still curious as long as I knew him. He made a difference in my life.
Through his gentle guidance, my life has been made better. Walther Niemann is a mentor, a friend, and a true gentleman. I will miss him.

- Pretty Suzanne interview -- Comptroller, 23:17:21 07/14/09 Tue
Hello fellow Monks fans
I recently interviewed Gary & Eddie about the resurfaced 'new' recording of Pretty Suzanne which has been released by Red Lounge Records. I've reproduced their illuminating answers below - enjoy!
Please note - my questions were based on the understanding that this version of Pretty Suzanne was recorded in 1967, as claimed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Suzanne. However, Eddie says that it was actually recorded in early '66, before Black Monk Time! History is complicated.
INTERVIEW:
As far as I understand it, after Black Monk Time, the Monks recorded two singles that were attempts to crack the pop charts (under pressure from Polydor), and the band split up shortly after these releases. Where did the recording of the recently-released version of 'Pretty Suzanne' fit in this timescale?
Gary: I don't remember exactly when it was done, but in my opinion it is one of the best Monk songs. As far as the record company/s are concerned it "fell through the cracks" and was never properly released until Light In the Attic picked up on it.
Eddie: We recorded Pretty Suzanne before we recorded "Black Monk Time" - maybe early 1966. Polydor listened to it and didn't like it. It was too radical. Therefore we gave up on this song and put it away. In time, we forgot about it. Two years ago, when Martin Christoph of Red Lounge Records sent me an MP3 of the song, I was totally surprised. I do remember that I liked this version, better than the demo song. I also like this type of arrangement better than other monk songs, but too many people were afraid of it - so we toned things down a bit.
Were any other songs recorded at the session that yielded 'Pretty Suzanne'?
Gary: Not that I remember.
Eddie: There might have been one other song, but I'm not sure. It might have ended up being recorded again for Black Monk Time.
'Pretty Suzanne' dates back to at least 1965. What was the original genesis of the song? Was it inspired by anything in particular?
Gary: Originally this song was used as a nightclub "time consumer" and it was an instrumental called Paradox which Dave and I wrote. The Monk managers showed an interest in it and persuaded us to put lyrics to it and push it a bit harder.
Eddie: Yes, it was recorded in 1965, soon after we did the demo tapes. We were looking to improve our sound and it was an experiment taken from an old Torquays instrumental song titled, "Paradox". Without a vocal the first part of the song was fast and the last part of the song was slow - in fact it may have been a walz in 3/4 time, but I'm not sure. Pretty Suzanne came from the slow section of the song. Roger and I experimented with the bass and drum parts to find a new platform. The others found their parts to match and we worked on a simple lyric that initially only repeated the words, "Pretty Suzanne," over and over.
A demo version of 'Pretty Suzanne' was recorded in 1965, and sounds very different from the 'new' 1967 version. Did you continue performing & evolving 'Pretty Suzanne' between 65-67, or was it forgotten about until the '67 session? [Note: I asked this question under the mistaken impression that the recently released version of Pretty Suzanne was recorded in 1967. My mistake.]
Gary: We really didn't play it very much after we became the Monks. It seemed to us at the time that it just wasn't complete or that it didn't have enough energy. We played in Frankfurt on a television show called Beat, Beat, Beat and some of the Manfred Mann people came up to us and said that Pretty Suzanne would be a hit if we put it out. I think that raised our interest enough to make us record it again but by then it was too late as the Monks broke up soon afterward. I'm actually pleased that it didn't get released because the Monks now own that property. Yes!
Eddie: As I mentioned, the song was played as an instrumental, (1964) before we started to experiment with it. At that time it was not in a minimalist (Monk) style. In 1965, we also took a couple of other songs that had been put together by Gary and Dave. "Boys are Boys" was one. We rewrote the song as a group experiment - laying down a "uber-beat" bass and drum platform before finding basic rhythms that would work over it. Every instrument became a rhythm instrument. After the foundation of the song was laid, we wrote simple lyrics - getting rid of too many, sweet lyrics - to make it strong. You can hear the difference between Boys are Boys by the Torquays and Boys are Boys by the Monks. There were one or two more original Torquay song that were done that way, but I can't remember what they were. One of them might have been a song called "Jumped out the Window," that became "Higgle-dy Piggle Dy. The monks songs were much better than the Torquay songs.
Thanks to Gary & Eddie for taking the time to answer my questions!

Finally I picked up a copy of "The Early Years 1964-1965" at Ameoba Music in Hollywood on vinyl. Man is this record heavy and I'm not just talking about the music inside the grooves! Love the way Light In The Attic even added an old fashioned sleeve advertising other albums on the label, the way record labels used to do. Nice little drawing of The Monks. I guess these demos got a remix for this release eh? I noticed this most of all when I went to put the needle down on "Hushie Pushie" and the double tracked lead guitar wasn't there like on the "Five Upstart Americans" CD. I really liked the way the guitar sounded on that one, but the "Early Years" mix sounds groovy too. Anyways, to Gary and Eddie, how are you guys doing?
