Less of a band, more of an art project - Menteur is a performance collective that incorporates paint, light design, and crowd participation to create unique live experiences. To preserve the "experience" many recordings are done binaurally, using their binaural dummy head recorder (and psuedo-frontman) Frank Head.

Menteur was founded by Carter Fourqurean and Sam Reeves, inspired by recording sessions where Carter would create sounds and textures with loopers and cassette recorders while Sam would paint to the sound.

Currently Menteur consists of 35 musicians, painters, performers, actors, videographers, technicians, light designers, and producers - many of which are active in other projects. Every performance is different, and there are often different performers at every show, and for every album.

Thank you for all of your support!

Girls really do ribald things betweenwhiles. Would you like to see?

Jay McCurdy is back in the studio again, this time, no holding back. 

"With a mix of bootleg remixes, back to his roots dance tracks and some close to the bone truths the skills are still there for all to hear"

Drunken Munks
Jmack and Jiddy may sound like characters from a 70’s Blaxploitation flick especially when you throw DJ Frankie Fearless into the mix, but in fact they’re Jason McCurdy, Paul Joseph and Martin Adshead respectively, a 3 piece Hip Hop act from in and around Greater Manchester.
The Drunken Munks combine a love for a wide range of music genres, and a mutual disinterest for the tedium arising from much of the recent and current hip hop trends (“were not gangsta and don’t intend to be pimps!”); creating an exciting and uncompromising style and approach to the game whilst they continue to embrace the the techniques of past and contemporary greats they are also contributing to the development of the future.
Its been an incredible year for The Drunken Munks so far having supported some huge names in the music industry the biggest being the Sugar Hill Gang, also they were due to support the Furious 5 unfortunately this was cancelled. However they have hyped up crowds in support for K-Lashnekoff, DJ Food, The Dub Pistols and recently the up coming Clement Marfo & the Frontline. For the lads though it was the headline warm up spot for Mix Master Mike on his November date in Manchester that really got the crowds talking.
However the year does not stop there for the lads, they have since been featured on BBC Manchester Introducing as the Artists of the week and their music is now starting filter out to the masses, spreading its infectious party vibe and hard-line no nonsense beats.
The DM’s have been formed for around 6 years now and after early jaunts out supporting the People Under the Stairs and Giant Panda in the mid naughties have since gone back under the radar to develop and busy themselves in the creation and performance aspects of what they do, so that when they do it now, they do it well. Their difference of opinion and also varying musical tastes and influences can be heard throughout their music from the highly popular hard-line “Wack Mc’s” to the smooth and funky “You Gave Me Music” and the depth of “Darkness” featuring the Happy Monday’s Julie Gordon, its clear to see that whilst the lads clearly sing from the same rap sheet they have taken totally different paths to arrive at their chosen musical destination.
So as the DM’s continue to energise the scene with their distinctive aesthetic, infusing break beat, jazz, rock and funk with their hip hop roots we hope that you will enjoy what you hear and support the Drunken Munks with their future exploits.

I’m a vocalist still finding my way. 
Regardless of my own niche, I absolutely love music and cannot go a day without it.
