From England, based in Los Angeles, Karling Abbeygate & The Monks Of Love were voted 1997 "Best Rock Band Of The Year" by City Life Magazine (Las Vegas). This time the band explores even more musical avenues, which has resulted in an album full of high spirits, scary spirits, and all around surprises.

Better late than never you say? Well, I'm only just getting over my hangover from that night.

Me and my freind Tara. I'm a Ninja Anime Chick, as if you couldn't tell that!

Yes, Karling Abbeygate & The Monks of Love did play at the party. If any of you took pics, email me. I'd like some.

Here's me in bed on Christmas morning at my Mum's house in England. I'm dreaming of all the lovely toys and sugar mouses that have miraculously appeared in my stocking. Instead I got underwear and a bottle of Bailys....not bad, not bad!

Ahh, soaking up the LA sun and smog.

Check out a couple of our music videos.
