Emerging from the loins of roots dub combo The Beatroots, ARON BENNETT (guitar,flute,rhodes,electonica) and LOZ FITZGIBBON (bass,harmonium,vintage tapes and fx) formed GREEN MONITOR in 2003 as a project to showcase their more experimental ideas. With a mutual respect for the likes of LEE SCRATCH and KING TUBBY'S studio approach,LOZ and ARON set about stripping both folk and dubroots music and reconstructing it using both acoustic and technological processes. In that same year CLIVE GASH (drumkit,tattoos and world percussion) and the internationally acclaimed ANNETTE BUCKLEY joined to form Corks' latest supergroup since The Dancing Bastards from Hell. That year GREEN MONITOR contributed several tracks to the award winning Irish BURNING MAN documentary DUST DEVILS and released their eponomously titled debut album garnering international recognition and praise from the likes of DARREN EMERSON,ASHLEY BEEDLE (X-PRESS2) and NIGHTMARES ON WAX. While N.O.W DJ EASE featured their skank opus GREEN SKINS both live and on his radio shows. GREEN MONITOR also got a mention on the 2006 N.O.W album 'in a space outta sound '. The sublime ANNETTE BUCKLEY/GREEN MONITOR collaboration BLINDED was included on the double Southern Fried 2 compilation (check out the peoplesrepublicofcork.com website).Live the band has wowed audiences up and down the country playing the blossoming Irish Festival circuit like THE ELECTRIC PICNIC,MANTUA,THE IRISH GREEN GATHERING and THE LIFE FESTIVAL. GREEN MONITOR have also supported New Zealand's FAT FREDDYS DROP and PITCHBLACK. Later the band would remix one of their songs inspiring the track of the same name. Since then GREEN MONITOR has released an E.P and have an album now finished to be released in 2009. The band have also a song to be included on the compilation " LAND OF THE RISING DUB" to be released on the DUBMISSION LABEL in Japan this year. GREEN MONITOR are a unique ever changing creative dynamic.Stealing the music of the heavenly spheres GREEN MONITOR sprinkle stardust of Electro Soul, SpaceRock, Folkadelic and World Music to birth a new revolution in sound.
