The Monks

All right, my name's Gary .
Let's go, it's beat time, it's hop time, it's monk time now!
You know we don't like the army.
What army?
Who cares what army?
Why do you kill all those kids over there in Vietnam ?
- "Monk Time" by the Monks

Think the Velvet Underground meets Umberto Eco's "Name of the Rose" and apparently you're on your way to imagining The Monks, according to Der Spiegel today .

The band was made up of five American ex-GI's in Germany who sang anti-war songs back in the 60's, creating a certain novelty factor ... they had been in their tanks, engines running, during the Cuban missile crisis.

Anyway, there's a new documentary movie out about them ... it's called The Transatlantic Feedback .

Anti-war ... seems there might be a space for this kind of band today, then again, there's always Pink to be going on with ...
