Outside the extreme world of modern rock, MONSTA is
uncompromising in recapturing the essence of today's country dance
rock experience. The working man's music for the next century,
MONSTA is filled with the restless energy that is true to
the bluesy heart of rock and roll. The music, played by stalwart
musicians of the highest caliber, focuses on a precision
groove, or an explosive instrumental lead, while respecting the
integrity of the story within the song.
New England's RICK MONAST, songwriter and singer, is a blown
fuse of soulful sincerity. More than simply a passionate presence on
stage, Monast arouses a fire in the mind and body with concise
personal revelations, and a certain literary richness.
With effortless style, RONNIE FARIAS, and
GLEN NUNES, spit out rapid-fire guitar, with the confidence
befitting their broad instrumental background's.
Drummer GARY SOARES, solidly executes the perfect time-
keeping necessary for the concrete sound of the band.
Totalizing the camaraderie of MONSTA is
WAYNE MANNING, providing a roadworthy and impacting bass.
In slamming synchronicity, MONSTA can embark on their
expansive catalogue of contemporary country rock cover material
and bust out the latest Luke Bryan, and Jason Aldean country hits,
like MOVE, and GONNA KNOW WE WERE HERE.
Conversely, MONSTA can move an emotional mountain with
the classic ballad, Every Rose has it's Thorn, while standing firm
at the point of the stage.
There's a new musical fortress on the landscape of dance club rock.
RONNIE FARIAS, GLEN NUNES, GARY SOARES,
and WAYNE MANNING, are it's hardened stone walls, and
RICK MONAST is it's foundation.
