"A Beautiful Life" animation by Chinny(Jason Milligan) is up...
Taking Monc's song and story Jason Milligan has single-handedly completed the first 90 secs(effectively
a highlights trailer) of the Monc song "A Beautiful Life"...
A fantastical story of a young girl who is visted by a giant magic white cat.
They fly off together on a nightime adventure over the dark city where the girl whitnesses
the cats magic powers, as he changes the demons and distractions in peoples lives
into things of hope and love...click here to see it...we're now needing to raise some $$
to make this into the full four and a half minute adventure...if you know anyone who'd like to
help out please email us!!

We are very sad to say goodbye to our mate and first drummer Dan"Birdy"Morris.
Dan died yesterday from undetected kidney problems
which in turn caused a cardiac arrest. Dan played drums on the "M" double album and the "Guilty" and "Away" EP's. His drum samples were also
used extensively on the "Speak..." album. We played our first 18 months
of live shows with him, initially he played cajon and percussion with Monc
and Donna on the very first ever Monc gigs in LA. He had a very unique
approach to drumming, mixing many Indian and African drums in with his
kit and always having new ideas to try. We called him "Birdy" due to his many
birds who lived with him at his home...here's a pic of Dan on one of our very
first shows...Farewell Birdy, we're sorry you left so soon.
Thanks for the rhythm, we'll see you on the other side...

a long time and will continue to do for all future projects!!)...all vocals and bass will also be recorded
