The Monks to hit big screen

Garage punk legends The Monks are to hit the big screen... but at the moment, only our Bavarian pals can see 'em! Drat.

The theatrical release of the Monks documentary "The Monks: The Transatlantic Feedback" will take place throughout Germany during October and November. Hopefully, the rest of us will get the chance to see it on DVD release. Keep checking here for details.

This couples up with The Monks playing a couple of live dates in Austria and Germany which will see the group creating an unholy racket with guest spots from The Fall's Mark E. Smith and a DJ set from Alec Empire.

Read over for dates and places.
