Thelonious Monster
From Free net encyclopedia
Thelonious Monster is a punk rock band from Los Angeles, led by singer-songwriter Bob Forrest. At one time they almost hired Red Hot Chili Peppers' current guitarist John Frusciante, but the Chili's managed to get him first.
Thelonious Monster were a consistently popular live attraction in the underground rock clubs of Hollywood in the 1980s and put out a series of critically acclaimed albums, but never achieved major success due to the drug problems of Forrest and other members.
After several years of sporadic activity and side projects by Forrest, Thelonious Monster reunited in 2004 at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California and at the Sunset Junction Street Fair in Los Angeles, and put out a new album the same year. Due to Forrest ceasing his use of illegal drugs in the early 2000s, they were considered to sound better than ever.
