Antenna Tony Monorail

About Me

THE SOUND YOU ARE HEARING IS 100% LIVE, one-man music with NO overdubs involved. Gritty, powerful and to the point. Using a bunch of Jew's Harps, harmonicas, percussions, cymbals and a small suitcase with a kick-pedal, ANTENNA TONY MONORAIL, hacks his own trail through the musical jungle. Just give him a stage, a chair, two mikes and a little reverb on the speakers, and this folk-blues-rock steamroller is ready to go places, true to the motto: HAVE HARP, WILL TRAVEL. Everybody's got to play this thing their own way, after all: some strive for virtuoso technique, others want to explore the depths of shamanic trance, but for Antenna, the main goal is to ROCK. Way-out Wailings of Lysergic Lyrics and Haphazard Harmonica, Primitive Pulsations of Dodgeball Drumming, Frenzied Foot-cymbals, Jackknife Jawharp and Shameless Shakers; ANTENNA TONY MONORAIL is living proof that the sum is indeed greater than the parts! etc.etc.etc.etc...
