Monaco the master mind behind Low-tek, is probably
best know as the Lead guitarist of Chicago's Enuff
Z'nuff. His first love however is his band Low-tek. This
incarnation of Low-tek grew out of Johns former
project, pinch.
With Low-tek Monaco writes all of the music, takes
center stage as lead singer as well lending the
Low-tek sound his trade mark guitar styling. Taking
the groove of the 60's British invasion, and giving
them a 90's alternative feel, is what Low-tek excels at.
His song writing ability really shines on the
forthcoming 4 track demo's which were in fact
recorded in Monaco's bed room on a four track.
Monaco's Lennon'esq vocals are at the core of these
songs, as well as the groove that captures the soul of
Low-tek, the fine mix of several different genres to
create a pleasure pallet for the ears.
Monaco's musical roots and influences can be found
interwoven throughout Low-teks music. Having grown
up on the Beatles, and Cheap trick, it would be easy
to just copy from those artist, yet Monaco seems to
have captured the essence of these artist, and made
them his own.
While Monaco is still very much a part of Enuff Z'nuff,
Low-tek is going strong playing gigs in the Chicago
area, and shopping for a label for their catalog of
music. A self produced CD should be available in late
98, and judging by the material a Major label title
should soon follow. |
