This is something of a reprisal of our amazing show last October with Peelander and Math, with the added bonus of LIMA! October’s show melted no less than 8 billion faces, 32,000 legs, and an over-sized candle. Now in BROOKLYN, all ages, and with our other AMAZING FRIENDS OF LOVE LIMA and new friends ESKALATORS, this will rock. A seriously very must see show. This show means business.

Monsterface to Rock Boston and Premiere our new LIVE DRUMMER!

Posted on by

For the first time in our five years as a band, Uncle Monsterface will perform our full set with our NEW LIVE DRUMMER. And we’re premiering it in our home town. Introducing Spooky Old Eric aka The Batman on the sticks, girls and boys. Take a poke for a nickel.

Full deets:
January 21, 2010 – 8pm
The Church
Cover $10, $7
21+ (sorrrrrrry team, we tried!)
Adv tix: www.fnicerecords.com/tickets

F-nice productions presents
Uncle Monsterface (WORLD PREMIERE OF NEW LIVE DRUMMER!)
with
Math the Band
The Silver City
Business for Pleasure
We are told that the show starts at 8sharp, as muzak must stop by midnight. We are also told that we are on 3rd, before those spazzy math-starz.

Because Facebook is sorta dumb in a lot of ways, there are two event pages, one set up by F-nice, the other by Math. Maybe we should do one, too?! Kooky Facebook. Anyways, make sure you tell it everything that you are doing in triplicate, or you will lose your life-license.

Sock Puppet Vampire has a NEW SONG for You!

Posted on by

Greetings! friend of the world of Sock Puppets and their Portraits!
refresher course: Marty from Uncle Monsterface sells Sock Puppet Portraits for a living.

So: a lots been going down and up and over and under in the world of the Ultimate Gift of Love. Let’s find out all about it, shall we?

New Myspace songs:
Sooooo, there are some new Sock Puppet Portrait Myspaces! And as most folks already know, all the NEW Sock Puppet Myspaces have a song that they wrote themselves despite (or because of) their lack of arms!

So, joining the Series 2 ranks with Spot the Elusive Dinosaur are The Nutty Bunny and now, just in time for Halloweenie Time – Frank the Vampire Superintendent singing about his army of undead bugs! (Any resemblance to actual Superintendents who I always fight with is strictly probably coincidental or something).

Once again, gang, these Myspace songs, while remaining totally PG, are turning out a bit dark. I suspect a few of the upcoming guys will be a bit lighter…

Remember: you don’t have to be on Myspace to check these profiles out. But if you ARE and you’re amused, make them your friends. It helps me! (And fret not, a Facebook group is coming soon…)

We went on tour!

Posted on by

Hi internet world of worlds!
We’re back from our big huge tour, and the reports you’ve heard are partially accurate – it was the best time ever! But we’re super excited to be re-united with Perfect Jimmy, and we’re currently huddled together in the warm and glowy confines of Dino-skeleton Island planning escapades, misadventures, and oddly enough a tupperware party. For zombies! But we assure you that big news is not only afoot, but also a huge hand worthy of the Yeti.

Ahhhh, the mighty Yeti…

Need something Monsterfacey to do in the meantime?
Write a review of “This is an Adventure’ on iTunes. Or else make me a sandwich. Or both!
I’m hungry…

More sooooooooon!

ever your representative of loyalty, joviality, and a confused sense of liability,
martyface

Monsterface Monday = ADVENTURE VIDEO! Kochalka Review! 1 more day of free!

Posted on by

TEAM!
“This album lifts you up and makes you feel powerful.”
–james kochalka on uncle monsterface’s ‘this is an adventure’

woaahhhhhhhh! today’s monsterface monday is AN INCREDIBLE VIDEO for the title track of the new album, “This is an Adventure!” go get it on our Youtube channel –
youtube.com/unclemonsterface (if it is’t embedding right here)

it features the beautiful album artwork created by our good friend, daria tessler – animalsleepstories.com, with animation by none other than our own resident super-talent, Perfect Jimmy. check out daria’s whole site! she’s such a unique talent, her work is like no one else’s, if you like the album art you’ll become obsessed with all that she does (she and marty met both selling art on the streets of ny!)

so: we’ve gotten hundreds of downloads from last week’s album drop! lots of them have lead to awesome reviews… but we definitely don’t have hundreds of reviews, thoughts, and/or musings yet (though there have been many, and thanks to everyone who has made good on their word). make good on your word, citizenry! in honor of last week’s Monsterface Monday (MoMo) of such grand proportions, we’re leaving it up for one more day – today – until midnight.

so: one more day to check out the new album at unclemonsterface.com need a place to review it? review it on Itunes – Cuz Itunes is fancy!

while you have one more day to download and you’re soaking in the splendor of this video and readying yourself for your OWN mighty review, check out these awesome reviews from last week!

super crazy cool = as seen above – the incomparable and legendary james kochalka gave us an amazing review on his own americanelf.com. he’s one of our superheroes of life, if you don’t already marvel at everything he creates, please do so immediately.

and once again, z from hipsterplease.com hits our album so squarely on the head it hurts. our collective head. hurts. z rules.

while we have your attention, on a completely unrelated note, please become our facebook friend if you do that sort of thing. we had an old acct that wasn’t a band account and then had to change it all over and stuff…
www.facebook.com/pages/Uncle-Monsterface/7925207825

next week we’ve got one more amazing monsterface monday in store for you!
then there will be a week off as we hit the road – and then PERFECT JIMMY GONE WILD will premiere on july 9 – perfect jimmy’s own weekly webcast wrapping up the week’s unlimited enthusiasm events…and whatever else he comes up with…(unlimited enthusiasm, ltd takes no responsibility for resulting lawsuits, catastrophes, or fits of weeping ‘perfect jimmy gone wild’ creates, inspires, or induces).

awesome + awesome = team monsterface
never stop a’rockin.

ever your loyal,
uncle monsterface

(nyc) suddenly there is a martysongs show this monday

Posted on by

not so suddenly. i’ve just been lousy about promoting it.
this show is with one of my best friend’s ever (gabe of count chocula-making fame playing drums for sam rosen), at a really cool place in brooklyn called ‘goodbye blue mondays,’ which is sort of like the kind of place you’d run into when chased bvy bullies and find a magical book that transforms you into some sort of dragon-riding terror.

www.myspace.com/goodbyebluemondayinc

this monday!
july 30
somewhere around maybe 8 or 9
i think it might be free, and is probably all ages!
with:
sam buck rosen/MartySongs/AngelDeradoorian

come see me play songs by myself!

i’m back! aw yeah!

Posted on by

hello!
i am back from running across the country with some wizards!
(for those not keeping up, for the month of june in the year 2007, i hit the road with flagship wizard rockers harry and the potters to help carry stuff, sell stuff, help make them sound nice, and to sell my own sock puppet portraits and see our grrrreat nation.)

we ran all the way from brooklyn to los angeles, rocking out every night at breakneck speeds of mightiness and with the unbridled fury of boundless awesomeness.

‘how was your trip across the country with the wizards?’ a curious and intrepid young sailor or spelunker might ask.

‘very excellent, indeed,‘ i would answer.
which would be a colossal but politically necessary lie…
