Barfly

Since 1999, Longwave has been one of the New York City’s leading exports. After the success of Endsongs , their 2000 independent release, the band signed with RCA Records and began work with producer Dave Fridmann, known for his efforts with the Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev. The resulting album, The Strangest Things, led to critical raves and tours across all parts of this earth with the likes of The Strokes and The Vines. Longwave followed up on the success of The Strangest Things by entering the studio in 2004 with famed producer John Leckie, whose work with Radiohead and Pink Floyd endeared him to the critical taste of the band, and There’s a Fire was released in 2005. With a return to the studio planned for late 2007, Longwave finds itself on the list of indispensable listening for the first part of this millennium. Expect them to stay there.

Monday Street are a five piece band. We all went to school together and music college and formed this band in 2007. Our live shows are full of energy and we aim to keep it raw and fresh as thats working well for us. This year is a busy one for us and we started by shooting a video for 'Speak To Me', we're recording with some very great people and theres going to be lots of new songs coming, so keep a look out. Theres some hot remixes circulating too to ensure you club kids get to hear us. We hope your loving the music as much as we're loving doing it.
