Trashmonk...!

Poptones.co.uk dropped by Trash studios yesterday and ... well ... what can we say?  Songs were played.  Incredible songs.  Bob Dylan meets Comets on Fire.  7 minute epics that touch the hand of glam, psych, Loveless and dub.  Gentle songs that are pure Emmylou Harris heartbreak.  More on Monday.  Everyone is buzzin’ ... its fan-fucking-tastic.

Alan McGee on the return of Trashmonk!

Nick/Trashmonk is a true talent.  I met him in ‘95 cold.  I was dj’ing, he came up and we had a mutual friend, Kle, my PA at the time.  I was getting over living the dream chemically and we bonded.  From ‘96 to ‘99, we got together Mona Lisa Overdive.  During this time I don’t know who was more damaged—me or him?  In ‘96 I could do an hour with Nick, by ‘98 we went to NY/LA for two weeks with each other and then went to Nevis for a three weeks holiday.  I also have to say every A and r man Creation employed at the time never ever went and saw him for a second visit as they thought he was nuts ... so I ended up A and R’ing Trashmonk by default, so maybe he was the crazy fuck and I was just a bit post-blues.
