Last Chance to Ask Moneen

[Gabe Gross]

I will be interviewing the Moneen (http://www.absolutepunk.net/artists/showlink.php?do=showdetails&l=2019&catid=2&ltr=M) this weekend so if you didn't get a chance to contribute to the questions you want to hear answered, then here's your chance. Post your questions in the replies and then listen to The Red Tree on repeat for the rest of the day.

[weezer182]

what day is that show on?

[boldt_action]

Sunday!

Should be great.

[exthuse]

What's the deal with the next album coming out so soon after The Red Tree?

[castaway]

what's going on with the DVD that there were trailers for? did the idea get scrapped? is there a release date?

and why are you awesome?

[elonman05]

How do you feel that you are one of the most talented bands in this scene and you get no respect?

Do canadians do anything besides play hockey, drink beer and smeer syrup on their hands?

You got any interesting stories about the tour with STD?

[Darren McLeod]

It seems that with the last two albums, they have had a really strong focus on mortality. Ask why this is such an important issue to them.

[AmIWrong]

How much do you love Lost? Doesn't it piss you off how it isn't on every week and they show a lot of re runs. What the hell is the black smoke monster thingy that used to be on the island and where the hell is it now?

[wrppdarndyrfngr]

Whats the background story/inspiration for "The East has stolen what the West may want"?

[DroppedUrPocket]

Whats the background story/inspiration for "The East has stolen what the West may want"?
Definitely.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Are there any b-sides from Are We Really Happy... or The Red Tree that they are ever going to release?

[logalog]

Ask them how much they like the photographer Andy Goldsworthy?

[ilovebsb]

do they have any plans for a headlining tour? will they play songs off their older albums such as "Smaller Chairs for the Early 1900's" or "Theory Of Harmonial Value". also what is their favorite songs to play (past and present albums)?

[wuninseven]

what's up with the periods at the beginning and end of their name?

Well, they've played Passing of America the past few times I've seen them. They've got more than enough material in their last 2 CDs for a full set of music, as well.

[atticusfinch]

Gosh, this album is so wonderful. EVERYONE should be buying this thing.

Anywho, questions.

Where and when was the photography shot for "Life. Tragedy. Disaster?"

Have you ever eaten Canadian maple carmel? Because it's amazing.

[ilovebsb]

yeah dude they opened up for std and tbs and they were so good. i definatley remeber them playing passing of america. that song is so good and after that i bought the 2cds in which P.O.A was on then i found out those happen to be my favorite cds out've the bunch. there new cd is really good. not as melodic and a bit medicre but moneen manages to keep capturing raw emotion... something you rarley see these days. i like it. i like them. i'd like for them to mix it up good next time they come around. well i'm out later

[foofighter51]

I just saw them in Chicago and was really impressed that all the effects on the songs were duplicated live (even the speed-up intro to "This Is All Bigger Than Me"). GEEK QUESTION: Do you like digital effects or analog, and what do you recommend?

[Jay We Fall]

q: why do all the flyers in portland say moneen isnt playing the show anymore? dumb.

[ishotthepilot]

Sometimes the songs (on Are We Really Happy as well) seem to blend together, flow together so much that you can barely tell where one ends and the other begins... is this on purpose and if so, why? it seems like most artists [well, excluding Top 40] are more likely to aim for diverse sounding tracks and are often berated for not doing so

[turbonium]

to their singer.... Why are you such a sexy nerdy looking guy?

[inabsolutes]

why is it (dot) moneen (dot)?

[Jay We Fall]

q: why do all the flyers in portland say moneen isnt playing the show anymore? dumb.


AKA: why did you drop off the portland show with no advance notice?

[together]

how do you go about writing your songs? lyrics first, music first...etc

[oldwirehands]

Growing up and a when they first started playing their instruments, who influenced them? Who influences them now? I'm talking about actual music, not people.

[kazuma_ootaro28]

I thought of this question while listening to "The Red Tree" and I'm not sure if it was asked but:

Do any of the members in Moneen smoke weed?

[Louise Heng]

gabe, dont you dare ask the lost question because i am!!!

[Skibum]

How did you leap from the speakers, fly through the air, land... then fall over and continue playing the guitar without missing a beat in Salt Lake on wednesday? Then How the hell did you do the Bruce Lee leap off the ground with no hands and still get back to the mic in time to sing the next verse???

[randall814]

Well, they've played Passing of America the past few times I've seen them. They've got more than enough material in their last 2 CDs for a full set of music, as well.

yeah they played that and "are we really happy with who we are right now?" in detroit.
