Celebrate MONADVember Dedicated To The Greatest & Most Original Band of All Time: Phoebe Legere's MONAD




































Please join us as we celebrate MONADVember, an entire month dedicated to honoring the greatest and most original rock band of all time: Phoebe Legere's Monad.

This blog is devoted to Phoebe and her extraordinarily artistic band that revolutionized music and gave birth to what we now know as the "East Village Scene." 

Quickly achieving status as a unique and legendary original rock group, Monad marked high-powered milestones including touring with David Bowie, being featured in several major films and recording Legere’s original tunes including ‘Marilyn’ that soared to the top of the college radio charts. 


Monad also performed for Phoebe’s “Game Show” that drew standing room only crowds in downtown venues long before the genre became popular. 


Phoebe's Monad created opportunities for women in rock. The group developed theatrical events that incorporated engineered sets & dazzling costumes from reclaimed materials in advance of the eco movement.


The sets, the costumes, the social platform, the magic: MONADVember!


The band played every club on the superhot circuit from Limelight to CBGBs and 8BC to Carnegie Hall. Monad played the opening night at famed Pyramid Club.


Thank you, Phoebe, for a remarkable life experience and for the forever to be treasured musical memories!









How will you celebrate MONADVember? We are grateful to Phoebe for the magical artistic moments and the theatrical gems and gold. Thank you for blazing the path for young girls and women to follow. You made their journey far easier. We salute you & we love you!
