Taking on an indie rock sound that has hints of new wave, Monsters Are Waiting feature Annalee Fery (vocals, keyboard), Eric Gardner (drums), Jonathan Siebels (guitar, bass), and Andrew Clark (bass, guitar). The Echo Park, CA, band — whose name comes from one of their own songs — began in Los Angeles in 2005, playing parties and clubs in the area. Those shows led to a tour with stellastarr* and Editors. In October 2005, Monsters Are Waiting released a self-titled EP through their website and Amoeba Records, followed in July 2006 by their debut full-length, Fascination, on Retone. In November 2006, they played the CMJ Music Marathon before a national tour with She Wants Revenge and Pretty Girls Make Graves.

Mellowdrone’s singer, guitarist and chief songwriter, Jonathan Bates admits that he has a compulsive streak when it comes to making music. “I don’t like playing a song the same way twice, which will either win people over or do me in,†he says with a laugh. “For me a song is never really done because the possibilities are limitless if you start out with a great chord progression and a strong melody. That’s what fascinates me about songwriting – once you have the foundation, you can build anything you want on top of it and then you can tear it down and start over again.â€

From a lineage of Honky Tonk Royalty one might expect some music reminiscent of grandpa. Hank III has very little interest in your typical “Country” album. All live performances infuse influences from his grandfather’s Nashville twang and Black Flag’s punk rage.
