Just wanted to let everyone know that we have de-
cided to do 2 more shows. Here is 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 MonoLyth, 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 titled
Shadows and Puppets that was well received. Ofcourse
we'll be playing this at our upcoming shows.
We are trying to get some cd's made to hand out at
our next few shows. They are 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 will 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 contain 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
are getting 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 they give 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 the frustration 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 tech-
nical difficulties with the ftp server we use. We
are working with the administrator, Bill, 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 go 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'd 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, so check them out if you get a
chance. (http:\\troublesomeblue.luma.com)
See ya at the next show.

We have another show scheduled so check out our
upcoming shows page. It's at the Pontiac Grille on
South St. in Philadelphia.
We're currently experimenting with recording and
hopefully we'll 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 recordings
of our practices. One of each song that we have at
the moment. The recordings are of pretty good qual-
ity and will at least give you an idea of the sound
we have developed.
Also we have our FIRST SHOW scheduled since we re-
formed. It will be a Doc. Watson's in Philadelphia
on January 5th. We go on at 10:30. It's a Friday
so it will 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.
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 experimenting
with sounds. We have also been turning 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.
