Monument To No One

About Me

"Monument to No One offers a piercing, psychedelic space rock counterbalanced with ambient mysticism and gritty grunge chops." - www.austin.com
Monument To No One is an alternative rock band from Austin, TX. Heavily influenced by the mid-90's space rock of Hum and Failure, Monument To No One combines the psychedelic guitar arrangements reminiscent of the early Smashing Pumpkins with the edgy melodic grooves of grunge-era arena rock. From modern effects-driven hooks anchored by a flurry of low toms and bass arpeggios, to the warm dynamics of sensitive post-emo ballads, Monument To No One delivers a knock-out performance of sonic attacks and textured rhythmic jams.
Monument To No One has just released their self-pressed full length CD, and has entertained audiences in Austin and San Antonio. They play regularly in Austin at Room 710, Emo's, and Headhunter's. The band formed in 2006, and consists of:
Eli Slate (Guitar and Vocals)
Dan Skarbek (Drums)
Steve Anderson (Guitar)
Mike McKinnon (Bass)
The rock and roll is powerful.
