Each night -- the competition continues Nov. 18 and 25 -- will see a winner picked by judges based on overall sound, stage presence, crowd interaction/ participation, draw, professionalism and punctuality. There will be showcases at the Stage's sister club, Zarra's Cafe in Point Pleasant Beach, from noon to 11 p.m. on Nov. 25. The finals will take place Jan. 6 at the Hiro Ballroom in Manhattan.

ASR Battle in Montclair Times

The Monkery in the Battle of the Bands at the Bloomfield Avenue Caf?FONT> Wednesday, November 08, 2006 The Monkery, a post-punk band that?s creating a sensation, will take the stage in a live performance at the Battle of the Bands, on Saturday, Nov. 11, starting at 6 p.m., at the Bloomfield Avenue Caf?347 Bloomfield Ave. Admis-sion to the all-age show is $10.

The band members include vocalist Stu Warshawer, guitarist Phil Enock, drummer Jeremy Da, and bassist Adam Davie.

After recording their full-length album ?One Blue Link? in 2003 (distributed by Rock Out Records), the band members traveled individual paths. Trials, tribulations and training sequences transpired, leading the members to realize their common musical destiny. Many protagonists undertake this kind of monastic retreat and return. This is ?monkery.? The band, having traveled this path, pays homage to this concept.

Hailing from both sides of the Atlantic, their checkered pasts and musical backgrounds include everything from lame a cappella to the violin and xylophone. Having at last cashed in their long-distance relationship for the up close and personal of one band-one house, The Monkery combines a light sound with an unhinged energy verging on insanity.

Responding to the Fall Out Boys? recent wave of post punk sounds and Coheed & Cambria?s wailing guitars, The Monkery fuses unexpected Sublime/Red Hot Chili Peppers elements with a touch of the Spin Doctors? impulsive vocal stylings. Their unique brand of monk rock pushed today?s new punk sounds beyond power chords. For more information about The Monkery, visit online at www.themonkery.com.
