The Guru Experience

About Me

The Monumental Gurus: Are an exciting and unusual act as they mix raw rock, bluesy punk with layers of video imagery to their songs. They have been described as a "noir style cabaret" with lots of energy and humour.

They are currently looking to take their show on the road and perform at some of Europes alternative rock festivals in the summer of 2008, anyone wanting to book The Gurus please contact: [email protected].
