That's 'Mayor' Gary Burger. He was the mayor of Turtle River, Minnesota (way up north in the state) near the end of his life. I've always thought he had a Freddie Mercury quality to his voice. Thanks for highlighting these guys.
I Hate You and Monks Chant are some of the best songs I've ever heard! The Monks didn't sound really 60s at all! The guts of this band to do and say this stuff!!!
The 6-String Banjo of Dave was a "Framus" the biggest Company, building Stringinstruments in West-Germany in that time. He also Play a Fender Jazzmaster.
I definitely remember The Seeds back in 1965 . "Pushing Too Hard ": I heard on Philadelphia's WFIL Famous 56. Yeah , seen dudes from friends , and neighbors sent to NAM from /65-79 ; last one hm by late 71 .I lost my uncle there mid 3/68;, tail end of bloody ass TET, just about 2 wks b-4 my 11th bday .
The Five Torquays released a single, "There She Walks/Boys are Boys". Dave Day released a solo single I" Have the Right/Don't Ha Ha", well after the demise of the band. Day told me that he started "I Have the Right" in the sixties and finished it decades later. "Cuckoo/I Can't Get Over You" is not from "Black Monk Time", it was a non-LP B-side. I had the great honor of meeting all of the Monks when the played Cavestomp, so when you hear the live LP, "Let's Start a Beat", I am in there...somewhere. Black Monk Time by Eddie Shaw (bass) is a book about the band (and him courting his (East) German wife. Light in the Attic has released a two-record set of just about all of their and the Five Torquays' output, sans demos. The demos are on "Hamburg Recordings 1967" and "Five Upstart Americans"
2 years late to your video, but in case you're still wondering, Larry played a Philicorda organ made by the Philips Natuurkundig Laboratorium of Eindhoven. Don't know the exact model,but the AG7500/22 model was made under license in Germany, so it might of been one of those.
When I played drums with The Monks back in 2006 & 2007 (replacing Roger Johnston R.I.P. November 8, 2004) Eddie Shaw mentioned that Larry Clark played the Philips Philicorda. Mike Fornatale (replacing Larry Clark) played the Philips Philicorda when The Monks (Eddie Shaw, Dave “Day” Havlicek R.I.P. January 10, 2008, & Gary Burger R.I.P. March 14, 2014) played The Dirty Water club in London, England on October 19, 2006.
Its the first version of the philicorda organ from Phillips. It was designed by an intern and was produced by Philips as a home organ on which you can plug your Philips record player in to play along your favorite Philips records.
Thanx for that. The 5 Torquays were a nice Band but Remy and Niemann help them to become the Monks. As you can see in the documentary, the 5 didn't like everyting about this concept, but it creat one of the best Bands of the 60s. Sadly Remy and Niemann never give any. interview.
Great band, great video! Genius level indeed! They should be as revered as the Velvet Underground IMO. I don't know if you've seen the Monks documentary The Transatlantic Feedback but I highly recommend it to anyone even remotely interested in 60s rock.
I’m late to this channel. Much to my chagrin. The Monks! Heck yeah. There’s some great footage of them on the German show beat beat beat here on TH-cam. By embracing the psych they tore themselves down. Too bad. They were garage monsters.
Every time I hear Complication I think it sounds like some organic industrial music. And the lyrics of Complication are darker and more profound than any thing Trent Reznor has written. And I'm a NIN fan.
@@kelechi_77 indeed. That album (Bad Habits) was actually not bad as far as late-'70s punk rock goes. But back then - with song titles like "Nice Legs, Shame About Her Face, Drugs in my Pocket, I Ain't Gettin' Any and Dear Jerry, Don't Try to Kill Me - it's no wonder they received little to no airplay in most markets.

The Sonics: We're going to have the rawest, grittiest sound around!!!
The Monks: Hold our banjo.

It is now my mission as believer to spread the teachings of this order. I shall not rest till the LP enters the pop music charts. Thankyou kind one.

Ed Shaw ended up in the band Minnesoda which was a jazz prog rock band
They put out one lp on capitol records in ‘72

I'm 70 now and I was first turned onto the Monks from an Apple iPhone as in 2017 when they used "Boys are Boys and Girls are Choice".
Great video. Recently finally listened to them. Unbelievable.

These are great! I'm watching all the garage programs with my gf now. Thanks.
I'd like to see you introduce people to The Music Machine.

i cant get over you by the monks is one of the best songs i've ever heard
Loving the garage files, keep up the good work!
Well thank you sir!
Thank you for your research and time making these. Garage is godly and this is definitely a treat!

The bass was a Gibson EB-3. It shared its body shape with the SG series of guitars, but wasn't actually given the SG name until the 21st century.
Great band, great video! Genius level indeed! They should be as revered as the Velvet Underground IMO. I don't know if you've seen the Monks documentary The Transatlantic Feedback but I highly recommend it to anyone even remotely interested in 60s rock.
Yeah I actually went to the San Francisco screening of it years ago! So good.
Excellent thanks for posting this.
The popular organ was the Farfisa,also Hammond, and Moog.
AND VOX
Love The Monks, they rule
I love The Monks!

They truly were. I really need to make some new garage files episodes. welcome to the channel man!
The Eyes, The Woolies, The Del-Vetts, The Blues Magoos, The Wanted, The Lemon Drops, The David
My brother liked their album when I showed it to him, I have not heard it in years.
Check out The Fall's version of I hate you, awesome!
Excellent job on the monks story!!!!
Awesome work here thank you!
Good On Ya
The organ was a Phillips phillacorda thru an EMT Klemt Echolette🫠🫠🫠🫠
Cool series!!
The banjo is a Framus made in Germany !!!👍

Sounds like post-punk, but before the regular punk was a thing.
Proto punk post punk
Have you heard of the Red Krayola's Leejol from 1968? or Hurricane Fighter Plane from 1967, those guys invented post-punk
Kraut rock
That's a Monks hairdo they believed shaving the top made them more connected to God.
Best Band Ever
What is the title song by the Gospels called? Love the show!
Andy Warhol would've loved these guys. Cali would've loved them and should've been at Woodstock.
NOPE, i am going back to the Seeds, lol
If black monk time is their only album, what is Bad Habits?
UK late 70s punk band that just happened to share the same name
@@kelechi_77 Thank you! The search results make so much more sense now.

Except for your condescending narration, good video .
