Bio:
The once husband and wife duo of Eli (vocals/guitar) and Mary Chartkoff (drums) are now a four piece with the addition of Andrew Bollas (8 Bit) on bass and Tom Bogdon on guitar. After last year’s full length offering, Our Tear’s Have Wings, the group returns with 4 new songs that will be released on September 25 via digital download and 10" vinyl. Clocking in at less than 14 minutes, You Look Good On the Train is The Monolators’ most mature and rowdy as ever effort, that continues to liken the quartet with Jonathan Richman’s The Modern Lovers. Combining early punk rooted in 50’s rock (see title track opener) with child-like narratives (see "Eagle Fighting Zebra"), the band maintains their own identity with Eli’s unique yelp that’s closest comparison is that of The Thermals’ Hutch Harris.

The Monolators are also very proud that their music has been played on every major indie radio station in Los Angeles: tracks from their demos and album received airplay on KCRWs Weekend Becomes Eclectic, Indie 103.1’s Check 1-2-3, KXLUs legendary Demolisten and KPFKs Nixon Tapes.
