Monophonics – July 19th – The Bluebird Theatre

Estimated read time 5 min read

For a Thursday night, or any night really, The Bluebird was sadly pretty empty when San Francisco’s Monophonics rolled into town last week. What that left those of us lucky enough to have made the right decision and hit the show, was plenty of dancing room, and boy, did we need it. Our guess is next time these boys come to town, they will draw a much bigger crowd as it is only a matter of time before word gets around that Monophonics is the real deal on the Funk scene.

PICK OF THE WEEK: Monophonics – The Bluebird – July 19th

Estimated read time 2 min read

Monophonics sits on the fuzzy psych side of Soul and Funk and over the past seven years they have staked their claim as one of California’s premier bands. Raised amid the Bay Area’s rich musical culture, Monophonics have proudly carried on the tradition of music native to their hometown which flourished during the birth of psychedelia. Paying homage to innovators such as Sly Stone, Norman Whitfield and Funkedelic’s George Clinton, the 6 piece outfit displays their ability to put a moody stamp on each composition.
