Monophonics Annual Soulful Social!

Over the past seven years, Monophonics have staked their claim as one of the west coast's premier bands. Raised amid the rich musical culture of San Francisco, Monophonics has proudly carried on the tradition of music native to their hometown, which flourished during the birth of Funk music and Psychedelic Soul.

Monophonics were formed in 2005 was originally an instrumental ensemble, but in the last 2 years their sound has evolved to encompass incredible vocally driven songs. 
The foundation of the band is the blistering funky drums of Austin Bohlman and soulful bass playing of Myles O'Mahony, fuzzy echo guitars by Ian McDonald, a powerhouse horn section made up of Ryan Scott, Nadav Nirenberg & Alex Baky and the swirling organ & dynamic vocals of Kelly Finnigan. The result is a psychedelic soul & heavy funk sound, which harks back to the styling of the late 60's and early 70's, all while keeping its feet planted firmly in the present. 

In 2012, Monophonics followed up their highly regarded 45/single "Like Yesterday" off Colemine Records with their third and best record to date entitled "In Your Brain" off the 
well known rare groove imprint Ubiquity Records. The critically acclaimed record is considered one of the best soul and funk releases of 2012 gaining them a radio hit 
in Europe with their cover of Sonny Bono's "Bang Bang". The full length has the vibe and the sound of the late 60's/early 70's. The sound of Dark psych soul, heavy funk, top-notch songwriting, analog tones and renowned production is a sonic testimony to the evolution of this six-piece unit.
