RIP - Dave Day. Electric Banjo Weilding Monk.

Sad news. Dave passed away this past week. When watching this footage of the Monks performing on German TV in 1966, I'm blown away at just about everything. The structure of the song, the feed back, the vocal styling, the aggression, the fun, and damnit, that electric banjo. As a long time Minnesota Beat fanatic, I'm so sad when another of our ravers passes on, but am happy to experience him in action. For more info: The Monks
