Monobeat

It all started at the very end of 2014 after an email from a ‘yerba mate’ loving bass player and a drummer who wanted to jam and a slightly bored guitarist. A few craigslist emails later a Russian keyboard player walks in with a Roland keytar and a flute comes over and says “play, I’ll figure it our half way just keep playing”. Sometime later a chef presents us to a singer who does an amazing Gustavo Cerati impression and wants to start a band as well. After a practice and a birthday party where a complete tamarind rum bottle was gone in less than half hour, the band breathed signs of life.

Our name means only one canal, one sound; like a solid and strong union of people from many different places.

We are a diverse group who want to make good music to our beloved audience. We come all from different corners of the northern and southern hemisphere; ranging from Peru, Argentina, Puerto Rico, U.S.A. and Russia (diversity is a really good thing, really). Our influences vary from 80’s groups like GIT to more recent ones like Zoe and others. We perform covers from bands like Soda Stereo, Duncan Dhu, Libido, La Union, Mana and we are in the process of creating original tunes for everyone to hear.
MonoBeat will see you soon!
