Just wanted to let everyone know that we have
decide to do 2 more shows. Here's the schedule
August 17th at 9:00 && September 21st at 11:00
Both are at Dos with a $6 cover. 21+.
Jim is moving in late September so that will
be all she wrote for a long while.

Wow! The show on Saturday was a huge success.
I heard from a lot of people it was the best
show we had played yet. All three bands were
rad and well received. Hoggle's Jewelry put
on a high energy show that was way better than
Weezer. Trace Fury rivaled the best Philly has
to offer. The crowd was a lot of fun and by
far on of the best we've played for. Thanks to
you all for comming.
So everyone now knows that Jim is leaving the
band in September. It was questionable what we
were going to do as a band until then and
beyond. Much of it depended on how Saturday
went. We have decided to keep playing as Mono-
Lyth, so there will be more to come. However,
after September it may be a little at a time,
but we will still exist.
But what about the time between now and
September? We have decided a few things. We
are going to keep practicing with Jim. Or I
should say Jim is going to continue to play
with us until he leaves for Arizona.
We have also decided, because Saturday went so
well, to try and do a few more shows. We're
not pulling a Ramone's on you, we just didn't
know whether we wanted to play any more so
close to Jim leaving. So we're in the process
of finding a few more shows and will let you
know as soon as they come around.
So keep checking your mail and the site. Get
the word out, tell your friends and your
brothers and sisters that they should come and
see the process as we evolve into the next
stage of MonoLyth.

The show at Rockers was pretty cool. The
sound over there is good, so it helped us
sound better. Plus the enthusiasm of those
of you who showed made a difference in our
performance as well, so thanks a lot for
coming. We introduced a new song entitled
Shadows and Puppets that was well received.
Of course we'll be playing this at our upcom-
ing shows.
We're trying to get some cd's made to hand
out at our next few shows. They're the studio
versions of Uplifting Design, Closure of Arms,
Abstract Engines and Stolen Joy that we just
finished recording a few weeks ago.
We made a few additions to the Web Site. All
the lyrics to our songs are up there so you
can check them out and see what we're saying
up there. Soon to come, as soon as Spirit
has the time to do it, explanations to the
song lyrics will be up there also. So not
only will you know what's being said you'll
know what we're talking about and where we're
coming from.

MonoLyth is currently working on their second
studio recording. This short album will con-
tain Stolen Joy, Uplifting Design, Abstract
Engines and Closure of Arms. The final tracks
are being laid next week and the album will
be mastered shortly there after. We're get-
ting it pressed ourselves, so we don't know
how long until we have the completed album
with with the jacket and all. We'll let you
know as soon as that is available.

Well... It is official. We are never playing
the Pontiac Grille again. And we suggest that
nobody books a show there. Out of the four
times we have played there they have screwed
up our time slot three times and totally
screwed us and the other bands. That Kirsten
has no business booking for anyplace and
should be dragged out in the street and
flogged. How stupid do you have to be to book
five bands on a Thursday night, first band
going on at about 10:15? That's a bright idea.
We were told originally that there would be
three bands and we would be going on second
around 11:00. We get to the "club" and they
tell us we're playing fourth of five. What
the Fu@k!!! Then the third band shows up late
so the Pontiac gives us their slot and screw
them. I hate this place. Actually, everyone
else there was all right. Kirsten is an idiot
and the door guy was a dick, but that's his
job. Must be hard to work in that place with
those who do show up usually ending up
getting pissed off at them. All that frustra-
tion and we didn't even get paid. Assholes.
Thanks to those who showed up at the Pontiac.
Sorry we all got raped by the Kirsten.

We have taken down our download pg because of
technical difficulties with the ftp server we
use. We're working with the administrator to
get this problem fixed and will let you know
when you can access the page.
We have a few more shows coming up so take a
look at the schedule. If you've looked at the
schedule and are wondering whether to go to
the Pontiac or Doc Watson's, we would rather
that you went to Doc Watson's for our own
personal reasons (concerning the fact that
the staff at the Pontiac Grille are a bunch
of... nevermind)

We want to thank everyone for coming on
Friday night. It was a huge success. We gave
away 15 cd's and had a lot of fun. There was
a great turnout of around 50 people, those
who didn't come missed out.
We would also like to thank Ed and Doc's of
course, who have invited us back in the near
future.
Thanks to Ry for coming all the way from
California to see us.
Thanks to Troublsome Blue for playing with
us (not like that). They also put on a good
show and are from Merchantville also,so check
them out if you get a chance.

We have another show scheduled so check out
our upcoming shows page. It's at the Pontiac
Grille on South St. in Philadelphia.
We are currently experimenting with recording
and hopefully we will have a cd with a few
songs on it to give away at our shows.
Have a good holiday and we'll see you in 2001.

The download section of our site is now up so
check that out. There are downloads from our
old demo recorded back in 1999 that some of
you may already have copies of. Then there
are some live recordingsof our practices. One
of each song that we have at the moment. The
recordings are of pretty good quality and
will at least give you an idea of the sound
we have developed.
Also we have our FIRST SHOW scheduled since
we reformed. It will be a Doc. Watson's in
Philadelphia on January 5th. We go on at
10:30. It's a Friday so it'll be a good time
to get your drink on.

MonoLyth is glad to formally announce its
return. We are active with a new member and
without an old one. Jim will replace George
playing the Stick Bass and will be adding
new sounds and ideas to the group.
We have completed some new songs and exper-
imenting with sounds. We have also been turn-
ing our practice room into a recording studio,
so hopefully we will have some more cds for
you soon.
Although we are not ready to play live yet,
we will be shortly. Join the mailing list to
be updated on new MonoLyth information about
available downloads on the site, upcoming
shows and new recordings.
