BERLIN, GERMANY — The Monks recently returned to Germany to hoist their rock 'n' roll flag for the first time in 40 years, and while on their tour through Berlin, Zurich and London, the band performed with five EV Raven microphones on vocals. The band's FOH engineer, Bruno Gebhard, comments: "They were easy to handle with regards to feedback (I had to do monitors from FOH at one show)."
Band founder/guitarist, Gary Burger, remarks: "We found that it sounded fat and would cut through band clutter without problems."
Of all of the band's recent performances, the October 23rd show at the Volksbühne in Berlin was perhaps the most epic, with guest appearances by Schorsch Kamerun (Die Goldenen Zitronen), Peter Hein (Fehlfarben), Mark E. Smith (The Fall) and the Raincoats' Ana da Silva and Gina Birch.
