MCM and the Monster facebook.com/mcmandthemonster Skate Punk Rock Boneless Ones instagram.com/bonelessones Skate Rock Rap WEY instagram.com/wey post-punk rock MCM and the Monster -from San Francisco, CA -MCM And The Monster were arguably San Franscisco's most popular local band from '87 to '93. They packed clubs and street fairs with fans from all music tribes. The Beastie Boys were visably more than a bit apprehensive about following them as opening band in SF as were every touring headliner they opened for. MCM helped pioneer rock/rap with a skate punk core but were much harder rocking and both more unabashedly obscence and widely relatable lyrically than any other band of the genre. They were San Francisco's ultimate party band and were courted by both major labels such as Warner Bros. and big booking agents such as Bill Graham Presents, however, they showed little respect for opportunities ('cos rock n roll) and didn't bother to release their first record until '93 (Gasatanka/Dutch East). By then the genre's popularity had long since peaked. MCM have played special events in recent years such as the benefit for I-Beam booker Eddie Jennings at The Regency Ballroom, SF in 2015. MCM have since been on a men's retreat. Boneless Ones -from Berkeley, CA -Inspired by Thrasher Magazine's Skate Rock tapes and driven by many skate related bands of the time, such as the Big Boys, JFA, and Code of Honor, they went on the full assault as one of the premier California punk/crossover bands and left every stage and city in waste that they played in. In 1986 The Boneless Ones recorded four songs with Kevin Army. We were getting ready for our follow-up to Skate for the Devil and thought a four-song tease would be fun. Those were the days when you put songs out on cassette. So that is what we did. We broke up before we ever recorded that next record. When we got back together 31 years later we did not have those songs anymore. We had Church of Violence on a skate video but no record of the other three. Then when cleaning out a closet Troy found a cassette marked ’87 Demo. These are the four songs recorded long ago. We are going to make it available to the public on April 2, 2024. Here you go. The ’87 Lost Demo. Featuring Max Fox and Troy Takaki and more importantly the amazing Luke Skeels (RIP) and super fun Tim Stiletto.In 1986 The Boneless Ones recorded four songs with Kevin Army.

A life hardened group of calloused musicians exiled from various U.S. cities, WEY was formed and is writing insightfully moving music from a high intermountain desert born next to a dead inland sea.
