Monotonix, 'Where Were You When It Happened?' (Drag City)
Sludgy fire breathers translate mosh mania.
By David Marchese 08.31.09 4:01 PM
Anyone who’s seen this Israeli trio’s fiery (literally) live show knows it’s hard to focus on the music when you’re constantly under threat of being accosted by frontman Ami Shalev. But even without the manic singer actually up in your face, the band’s gleefully knuckle-dragging first full-length is a thrilling throwdown.

A notorious hermit, lyrical jester, and reluctant performer, Silver Jews frontman David Berman seemed quite relaxed and confident onstage last night at Portland's historic Wonder Ballroom, sporting a casual get-up of a simple blue tee, denim blue jeans, square spectacles, and an oversized belt buckle that appropriately read, "Joos."

Monotonix
Manic Israeli power trio inspire incendiary gigs.
By Josh Modell 06.25.08 6:09 PM
As Monotonix tear through their bare-bones, Thin Lizzy riff-rock at a disused Milwaukee warehouse -- a basement show in every way, except that it’s on the first floor -- I’m afraid my pants are going to catch fire.
