Featuring ex-members of PERFECTLY NORMAL from the Toronto area, Kenny
Bridges, Mark Bowser, Peter Krpan and Chris Hughes joined together in
late spring of 1999 to form .moneen. Later on Mark moved onto
synthesizing Mexican children out of raw DNA, then moved in Chris
Slorach to take his place. Two memorable years together and Chris
Slorach parted with .moneen. Farmiliar friend Erik Hughes picked up the
bass once again, having filled-in for Mark on their first tour ever.
Playing what they like to call
"the collaboration of melodic influence", they conduct their own experiments into the world of aggressive melodic pop. Using influences such as Failure, Hum, Eric's Trip and Choke to capture their sound, while then using classical and jazz influences to make it their own. Musical influence as well as ethical influence came from their roots in the local suburb Punk/Hardcore scenes, giving them an independent stance propped up by elements of DIY.
Over the past four years now .moneen. have been writing music and performing across Canada and the USA. As the result of their efforts combined with luck, and the helping hands of friends, .moneen. have traveled and performed across Canada over four times, played the Northeastern and East Coast USA a number of times, and have toured the periphery of the United States of America. Most notably, .moneen. have been fortunate enough to tour with bands such as Face To Face, Taking Back Sunday, and The Get Up Kids. More and more they are becoming known for thier empassioned live performances that often reach a near-violent fervor. Invoking spontonaety and imrovisation they are the kind of band that strive to make each show a little different.
With one CD/EP Smaller Chairs for the Early 1900's (Smallman Records), and one CD/LP The Theory of Harmonial Value (Smallman/Hopeless Records), .moneen. have seen sucess that few Canadian indie bands experience. June 2003 will see their second full lenth release
Are We Really Happy With Who We Are Right Now? on Vagrant Records worldwide, and Smallman Records in Canada.
Still new to the scene, .moneen. will not hesitate to grow as a band and strive towards new goals. They will progress with passion, and will always keep fresh in their minds that this is their "collaboration of melodic influence".
