"You can take the boy out of the Midwest, but you can't take the Midwest out of the boy."Midwest Monster is: Dave Wolfe, Mike Franklin, Kitty Korvette and Steven Anderson. Sometimes the first thing to do is start a MySpace. Dave Wolfe is missing his old band, The Vibro Champs. "I have been playing bass in Black Irish Texas, and it's about time I got a good Spookabilly type thing going, I miss it. I need to play loud guitar, NOW!" Mike has also been playing with Dave in The Black Irish. They have been friends for more years that they can count. Dave and Mike have been talking about some kind of band for 4 or 5 years. Dave and Mike moved down from the Midwest one right after the other. Kitty has been playing bass for Black Molly. Dave and Kitty have been talking for some time about doing something. Well... This is that something. Dave and Steven both tried out for a band together, and could not deal with the other guy in the band, so we broke it off and have been working on doing something for 1-1/2 years. Soooo we have been on this "something" for some time. Our first show was on Halloween in Corpis Cristi, Texas in Honor of Freddy Fender. We love him. We will keep you abreast on what we are doing. Please check out our top 24 for other projects we are in, and messed up with. --MWM

"Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast, To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak. I've read, that things inanimate have mov'd, And, as with living Souls, have been inform'd, By Magick Numbers and persuasive Sound. What then am I? Am I more senseless grown Than Trees, or Flint? O force of constant Woe! 'Tis not in Harmony to calm my Griefs. Anselmo sleeps, and is at Peace; last Night The silent Tomb receiv'd the good Old King; He and his Sorrows now are safely lodg'd Within its cold, but hospitable Bosom. Why am not I at Peace?" -- The phrase was coined by William Congreve, in The mourning bride, 1697:"Come, sleep, O sleep! the certain knot of peace, The baiting-place of wit, the balm of woe; The poor man's wealth, the prisoner's release, The impartial judge between the high and low." - SIR PHILIP SIDNEY "YES, YES and Fuckin' YES!!! THIS is why God and Les Paul invented the electric guitar! It is always nice ta make friends with those who get it!" - Trick-Toons"I was born Feb. 12, 1809, in Hardin County, Kentucky. My parents were both born in Virginia, of undistinguished families--second families, perhaps I should say. My mother, who died in my tenth year, was of a family of the name of Hanks.... My father ... removed from Kentucky to the Midwest... Indiana, in my eighth year.... It was a wild region, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. There I grew up.... Of course when I came of age I did not know much. Still somehow, I could read, write, and cipher ... but that was all." -Abraham Lincoln

Band Members:“O miserable man, what a deformed monster has sin made you! God made you "little lower than the angels"; sin has made you little better than the devils” - Joseph AlleineDave Wolfe:Kitty Korvette:Mike Franklin:Steven Strand:"...To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: aye, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life..." - ShakespeareWant to hear MWM LIVE? Drop us a line and tell us where you think we should play. We have a 1971 Ford Super Van like the one in Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The original in 1974, not this new crap movie. Stop trying to remake this movie. Well... I did like ..2, 'cuz Dennis Hopper rocks. Mike tells me that the van in the movie was a '69, but it looks the same anyhow. I like to think it was a '71, but I regress. If you got a show our van will make it to, we are there. I'm thinkin' around Texas for now, but you never know. We Whata Wock! See you soon at a dive bar near you.Our Van. Come fly with us... Hard to get away from the press.
Influences: "Last night you were unhinged. You were like some desperate, howling demon. You frightened me.... Do it again!"
