Monotonix

 Seattle Weekly has spilled way more than our share of ink lavishing praise on Tel Aviv–based garage punks Monotonix, urging anyone with two ears and a pulse to catch them live, reviewing their shows and post-show parties, and generally spazzing out about how amazing and truly kinetic they are onstage ("stage" being a very loose term, considering their tendency to exploit every square inch of a venue). Well, why stop now? If you only go to one bar show all year, this really should be it. The boys are rolling through Seattle with new drummer Haggai Fershtman in support of their forthcoming Drag City debut, Body Language. Really, the only legitimate concern I have about this show is that Monotonix probably should be playing a venue larger than the Comet this time around; selling out early is a given. With the Valley and Black Eyes & Neckties. HANNAH LEVIN
