Formed in 2004, Monsters Are Not Myths is the result of two men's inspiration and the brilliance of a seven-year-old. During the desperate and always painful search for a band name, the solution came in the form of a child at the day care Nick Giordano worked for. "He was always drawing me pictures and one day he hands me this picture of a band with Dracula and Frankenstein on guitar and bass respectively. At the bottom of the drawing he titled the band Monsters are not Myths," says Nick. Always ones to take candy from a baby or intellectual property from a seven-year-old, the group eventually decided to adopt the name. And so, a legend was born... Evan Hamilton, a self-taught pianist, managed to pass across Nick Giordano in a musician's classified ad. Nick had been playing guitar for five years previously, and his credits included five Santa Cruz bands. Three of those bands were with Monsters bassist, Jeff Crook. Located in Santa Cruz, California, Monsters Are Not Myths plays both the electric and acoustic circuits, alternating between folksy renditions of their songs and their electric set. Monsters released their first recordings upon the world in the form of 2004's Portable Luminaire, an acoustic EP featuring Nick and Evan and recorded by Jeff. Unmatched in energy and stage presence, Monsters commits itself to the audience, the music, and receiving advice from children. Check out the artist's website: http://manm.uugh.com Track List: 1.
