Hi im Davey Langdon. I fell in love with dance music when I 1st heard The Opera House by Jack E Makossa back in 1987. From then I went on to electro and dabbled a bit in break dancing and the B-boy scene. Then moved onto the early Madchester vibe with the Hacienda being a big influence. Always had my finger into a bit DJing from the early days and now I mostly listen and play Progressive House, Organic House and Indie Dance… I'm now a resident DJ for Www.unitemusic.co.uk 

Monk Tamony was born instantly over drinks in a downtown Lower East Side bar. After realizing he'd been writing songs for a band that didn't exist,  TJ Rosenthal (vocals, guitar)walked the new material over to long time friend Joe Zdaa (drums, vocals). Who then played the demo tracks while bartending at a popular underground hotspot in late 2015.  Days later, rehearsals were officially underway.

The bands' name is an ode to the various colorful characters who roamed the seedy streets downtown around the turn of the twentieth century.  And, their sound is an amalgamation of the band's biggest influences from the British invasion to classic soul and punk which has fast earned them attention for their exciting live shows.

The duo released their self titled debut EP in the summer of 2016. Their single "Leaders" was voted Q Magazine track of the day and landed on the Last Shadow Puppets personal Spotify playlist. 

In addition to live stints throughout various regions of the US in 2017, the band enjoyed festival stops in 2017 at both SXSW in Austin and the Desert Stars Festival in Pioneertown, Ca. The first single off of the duo's upcoming LP, THE GOOD SIDE was released in late January of 2018.  It quickly saw heavy rotation on college radio stations throughout the US.  The LP and single were produced by Sune Rose Wagner of The Raveonettes. The official date for the group's pending LP is TBA and they can be seen touring through the US throughout the summer with Highly Suspect.
