| KIND MONITOR EP-RELEASE AT JOE’S PUB. Saturday, 7/19/08, 9:30 PM.

After a year of tremendously entertaining shows at NYC's premier indie-rock hot-spots (including Living Room Lounge, Monkeytown, Pete’s Candy Store, The Zipper Factory), the rapidly emerging Brooklyn band Kind Monitor (aka KM) hits Joe's Pub stage for a summer-time EP-release show Saturday July 19, 2008, 9:30PM. The band's first mini-album includes studio versions of audience favorites "End of the Game," "Cairo," and "Somebody Saves". It celebrates the many talented musicians involved with the EP. An "engaging" band with a "dynamic stage presence," Kind Monitor has become known for delicate song-writing, intricately melodic bass-lines, and top-notch live shows chock full of guest musicians. KM has shared the stage with Shortbus’ velvet-voiced crooner Scott Matthew, the outrageous Lady Rizo, indie-rap star louis logic, and, more recently, a host of well-textured jazz musicians. Explains band leader Joshua Aaron Guthals: “Each song to me is a complete world, no matter what mood or tone that world takes; it is a conversation between artists and audience. New musicians bring new life to the music for everyone.” Look for jazz drummer, flutist, and double-bassist to grace the stage with KM at Joe’s. Kind Monitor has an unusually ardent following among New York’s most talented artists, who see an ‘intelligence, openness, and clarity’ in KM’s songs. KM’s iconic logo, a bird perched on a musical tree branch (courtesy of designer Scott Ballum) inspired KM’s hand-designed stage clothing (courtesy of clothing designer Solomon Eversol), and finds its melancholic complement in the crisp longing lines of the band photography (courtesy of photographer Jerald Stein). Come celebrate everyone’s hard work at an unforgettable evening of KM music and much audience revelry. Tickets can be purchased 24 hours a day online at joespub.com. Or call: 212-967-7555. "I know from personal experience that Kind Monitor is the most indie band Brooklyn has ever spawned forth. They're so indie, they're INDIE." – Lady Rizo “Kind Monitor rocked their sweaty and sticky shows all month long at Pete’s!” – Holly, Pete’s Candy Store “KM played a sold out show and sounded great in our space. And it was clear that the audience had an awesome experience.” – Montgomery, Monkeytown More information about Kind Monitor: http://www.myspace.com/kindmonitor http://adambernard.blogspot.com/2008/05/rocky-horror-louis-l ogic-show.html http://www.trashmenagerie.com/blog/2008/05/01/kind-monitor-a t-zipper/ Selected live performance spots over the last year: The Zipper Factory (delightful off-Broadway venue) Pete's Candy Store (summer residency) Monkeytown (two standing room only shows) Envoy Gallery (art opening for Marc Seguin) Mo Pitkins (East village hotspot, now closed) |
