I have been remiss in updating this site. There is probably a few hundred gigabytes of music left to sort through for this site. It might be a little while before it gets updated again because I am busy with school and work. Winter should bring some new music. Sign up for the email list if you like what you hear so you can get more when more becomes available...
A really great song on this page, just so you all know, is "Where is the Light". It's very different from the other songs and a few very interesting people sing and do other things with their mouths on it. So take a look if you have a minute. Thanks for listening...
THIS is FREE Jazz, as in music that is purely improvisational. I have taken the time to extract some of the sweetest nugs ever to be recorded by the legendary Monstah Muthas (By the way, it makes great driving music, if you don't talk on your phone the entire time you're in the car). The Monstah Muthas was an experimental rotating band (supported by The FreeKeys) that played in Gville between 2002 and 2005. It comprised of musicians from various bands in the Gville scene at the time. You may have performed music on this site. If that pisses you off, I'm really sorry. Please let me know.

Why this name?
We imagined this band to be like a group of scary matriarchs. But none of us ever ended up having any children.
Do you play live?
We did. At the Shamrock, The Side Bar, Shabalah Farm, and at the amazing, ineffable SHACK (ie:padded cell). We would do it again if you wanted us to.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think people will call music things that it's not and that's why it's bad. Some people will call it exactly like it is and that's why it's good. Yet others will post instrumentals for rap music in inappropriate genres with utter disregard for the purpose of genres and create a disorganized web of mislabeled music and other mediums that is nearly impossible to navigate.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes. Absolutely. I'd sign away everything except my dog to sign this band to a record contract with a major label.
Band History:
Yes, the band history. Definitely rotated. The bands whose members participated in this event are pretty numerous. Lets see, The FreeKeys, Times Fly, OOZE, Fluid Mosaic, Djaja Peak, Deans on Bass, Unkle Funkle, Swayback, The Elevator Company, Brickfoot Ninja Squad and many others.
Your influences?
Not a fair question.
Favorite spot?
Gainesville.
Equipment used:
Lots. As heavy as possible if we're playing live.
Anything else...?
I'm sure you can tell I make alot of jokes on this page. But take a listen, I'm not kidding.
