Monotonix: The Most Exciting Live Band in Rock and Roll

Posted by Jeff Albertson

Monotonix are on fire. Literally. The three-piece band from Tel Aviv, Israel torches clubs with a high-wire act that is equal parts rock-and-roll spectacle (lighting things on fire) and unchecked adrenaline (shirtless, hairy dudes spitting beer all over everyone).

Live they are a feral celebration of riff-heavy rock and untamed ferocity. Their music is a fist-pumping, beer-chugging concoction of Thin Lizzy inspired guitar rock matched with the in-your-face punk rock of Black Flag.

They've toured non-stop for the past several years and currently have 58 shows booked from now until they kick off a U.K. tour in November.

The band, consisting of singer Ami Shalev, guitarist Yonatan Gat, and drummer Ran Shimoni
played a legendary show in February at the Comet Tavern that left the audience both floored by their showmanship and soaked in sweat and cheap beer.

Monotonix will play at 2:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 1 at the Exhibition Hall Stage.
