we rock
The Knitting Factory
(tap bar)
with the amazing
FISHBOY
and the super cool besties
doors at 7pm | $8 | all ages
74 Leonard Street in NYCNYCNYCNYCNYC
there are a variety of compelling reasons to go to this show.
first of all, fishboy released what is seriously our favorite album of 2007. seriously. he’s amazing, amazingly nice, and touring from denton, TX. he sings songs about buddy holly’s ghost!
next of all, it’s the knitting factory. but it isn’t just the knit. for some inexplicable reason, we’re headlining the tap bar, or medium capacity room. so please come to show the knit that we belong there.
but most importantly…
it’s PARADISE DAN’S BIRTHDAEEEEEEE! curiously enough, this will be our second monsterface birthdae at the knit…bring him presents…
and as ever, we promise you a sock puppet rock band cover of madonna’s like a prayer…
hello, TEAM MONSTERFACE.
today is a sad dae that we tried to make a bit less sad.
you see, gary gygax died.
if you don’t know, gary gygax was instrumental in creating dungeons & dragons.
welp, sad and inspired, we made him a song.
here it is:
(thank you) Gary Gygax
(or also on our myspace.)

hello and howdy, good TEAM MONSTERFACE.
we put something special up for you, in honor of this very fine and historic
SUPER TUESDAY.
it’s a crazy LIVE DRUMS version of DEROCKRACY!
(currently living on the myspace. don’t fear the myspace, you needn’t be on it to listen, and if you are on it, say ‘howdy’.)
vote, participate, talk about the election with everyone and do your best not to succumb to the political cynicism that runs rampant like a kid on a sweet new big wheel. if you don’t vote, don’t complain. you forfeit your right. we aren’t terribly interested in mixing up politics with our sock puppet rock band, so that’s as much as you’ll ever get from us…

hello, TEAM MONSTERFACE,
we here at MONSTERFACE INDUSTRIES realize that GIFT DAE has already gone by, but if we’re not mistaken the gifty-bot-unicorn-omatrix-omonster klaw 5800 might have left something else tucked behind the GIFT DAE vortex…
that’s right, we think you missed a present…
go ahead…unwrap it…
oh don’t worry about the paper…
what is it?
what is it?!
IT’S A BRAND NEW UNCLE MONSTERFACE SONG called
ROBOT QUEST!
check it on the myspace
or just listen right here.

dearest TEAM MONSTERFACE.
as camp monsterface winds down, we here at MONSTERFACE INDUSTRIES are starting to get all wound up for a staunch and bug-swallowing motorcycle-ride full of exciting events and activities (new songs! more shows! new TEE VEE!).
but first and foremost - like so many loyal and wide-eyed members of TEAM MONSTERFACE - we’re totally excited for the final HARRY POTTER BOOK to come out! (if you don’t share this enthusiasm, skip this whole bit and wait for some cool things next week…)
Continue reading ‘we love the wizards - an all-star salute to the HP!’
(find MONSTERFACE MONDAYS at our Myspace)
that’s right, TEAM MONSTERFACE,
it’s almost time for CAMP MONSTERFACE, and when camp comes, Monsterface Mondays goes on a much-needed break.
but first we bring you a martysong classic that is definitely going to become a monsterface force of destruction when we get together to write in july-
ROCK 4 LUV (marty demo)
careful, there are explicit (yet for once, appropriately so) lyrics.
it feels like a pretty good place to leave the MoMo - a rock song of rocking hope that will become even more awesome once it gets monsterfaced up. i wrote it over two years ago, before there even WAS an uncle monsterface. and i’ll be playing it TOMORROW NIGHT at
a super rare SOLO rock show of marty’s songs!
Continue reading ‘last MoMo for now=old martysong that will be a new umfsong.’
ho howdy!
quickly - go check out the super-awesome new lemon demon song ‘knife fight’ in which he and i fight. with knifes!
it turns out that the lemon demon and i actually grew up on the same street, so we decided to take it back to the very mean streets on which we were raised. with, you know… knifes. cuz kingston is, um…pretty rough and…ummm… awfully street?
AND it’s a totally rocktastic jam, and i’m super-honored to have been a part of it.
and rest assured, i cut the punk up.
(kids, don’t fight with knifes!)
yours in squalor,
martyface
ps: we’ll be rocking out with lemon demon, math the band, and the lima research society on april 21 at CT’s TOQUET HALL in the first IMAGINATION SUMMIT with more to come! holy awesome!
Here is a new webby site of web-ness, so allow me a MoMo(ment)(hahahhahhahhahah…cof) to re-explain MONSTERFACE MONDAYS . the deal is, every monday, we put up SOME kind of new-ish content - on the MYSPACE (myspace.com/unclemonsterface). often, this is either a song or a video. whenever it is a song, it is downloadable (unlike our others, cuz we need money like real bad ‘n stuff). the songs could be anything from: something entirely new; something that isn’t typically available on our myspace; or something that relates directly to the very windy and occasionally interesting HISTORY of uncle monsterface. when they are ‘historical’ songs, i’ll include a long-winded ‘MONTERFACE MOMENT IN HISTORICAL-OSITY-NESS’ along with it. we’ve posted commercials for UMF tee vee, weird non-vocal musical ‘blips’, strange early collaborations by all of us. all manner of tomfoolery. whatever the case, i write a long-winded narrative about the post. i referring to me, marty, the guy who yells and jumps around in the band.
we try to put them up earlier in the day, but sometimes curious obstacles intercede. a good way to tell that a ‘new something’ is here is to look for our myspace picture to change to the ‘monsterface mondays’ graphic. like so:
and there you have it, all for the cost of a bean burrito that was free and wicked good.
