Described by Al Bell (record producer, songwriter, executive, and co-owner of legendary Stax Records) as "One of the best live soul bands I have ever seen!", Monophonics were raised amid the rich musical culture and history of the San Francisco Bay Area and proudly carry the torch through the generations into today's musical landscape.
Holding on to tradition, but by no means purists of any kind, they play their own brand of music known as "Psychedelic Soul." With a timeless sound that blends heavy soul and psych-rock, Monophonics have built a reputation over the past decade as one of the best live bands around with their heartfelt music and old school vibes, that never lose sight of the present.
