V&V Episode 112 Eddie Shaw of The Monks

It is an honor to bring to you Eddie Shaw! The bass player of The Monks! The Monks have been a long time influence and inspiration to me, personally, as well as being a influence over countless bands since 1966 through today thanks to the rediscovery of the band through Ugly Things Magazine in the 90's. Their album, Black Monk Time, has since been reissue many times through many labels and they have even had some previously unreleased songs released for the first time through Jack White's Third Man Records.It's a wild and incredible story which I am honored to have been able to sit with Eddie and try to get a full description of what was happening at the time, what was informing their direction, the continued legacy and what he's been up to lately. I encourage you all to pick up a copy of his book Black Monk Time through the provided links. Also, listen to the album! It's only available to stream through YouTube at the moment.(Light in The Attic Records I'm looking at you!)If you'd like to know more about us and how to support the show, please visit our website www.psychicstatic.netTheme song written and performed by Jeff Robbins of 123 Astronaut/Orbit.https://www.the-monks.com/https://carsonstreetpublishing.com/books/https://youtu.be/-l2D0QfJSt8?si=dfi_TR1ceq6AarWd
