BIO | Reverse Chronology
LESS ART SCHOOL, MORE ROCK
The band previously known as Uncle Monsterface is currently known as MONSTERFACE. In exchange for one lost “Uncle,” they found a powerful, new, all live rock show (and some swords). Straight-up 3-piece awesome-rock songs about ninjas, robots, gary gygax, other robots, flying accountants, Nintendo, zombies, and lobsters. The geeks have inherited the earth, rock stage, and local economy.
Like Rush before them, MONSTERFACE is now drums and guitar with Marty singing while he plays bass. Paradise Dan is still stealing hearts and minds (and souls) with his rock guitar prowess and boy-ish charms. Spooki Olde Eric still hits drums with sticks. Hard. The sock puppets are out looking for their Uncle.
RISE OF THE LAVA MEN
MONSTERFACE is probably now formulating selections from their forthcoming full-length album, “The Rise of The Lava Men”, the story of a rag-tag band of ancient superheroes, as unearthed under the ashes of New Ashville City (in the shadow of Mt. Bombpei), Dino-skeleton Island.
Rest assured, the sock puppets (and the Perfect Jimmy) are always lodged firmly inside of their collective hearts (a condition that is actually twice as painful as it sounds).
If and when the “UNCLE” comes back, the Big Show will, too.
We here at Monsterface Industries are thrilled about this change like poorly monitored children eating oversized ice cream cones while riding a talking roller coaster that goes underwater and back in time.
PREVIOUSLY ON…
Originally a trio from Boston, Uncle Monsterface began simply – hanging out and making up rock songs. The founding members, Marty Allen, ‘Paradise’ Dan Brennan, and ‘Perfect ‘Jimmy Bernardinelli met in college and while working on a local cable access variety show. Frontman Marty Allen had accumulated many songs (Marty’s Song A Day – http://blogspot.martystuff.com) and sock puppets and needed help – Uncle Monsterface was formed/birthed/conjured.
The boys suddenly found themselves living inside a giant treehouse/volcano with a sock puppet who was also a monster who was also a power inside of them. A simple rock show quickly escalated into a ‘multimedia fiasco and/or experience’. The boys released two full length albums, two EPs, many strange videos (including a variety show and sock puppet soap opera), and toured nationally. There was a sock puppet stage, giant monsters, accompanying synchronized videos projected on their bed-sheet fort theater.
And then, more recently (see above), there wasn’t.
