the monks.
live in germany, 1966...
these guys seem like a real interesting bunch:
"All the members were American GIs stationed in Germany in the mid-sixties."
"At the beginning of 1965, Dave Day and Roger Johnston, on a whim, got their heads shaved into monks' tonsures. The rest of the band followed their lead, and to complete the image, the band took to wearing a uniform - all black, sometimes in cassocks, with nooses worn as neckties."
"One attendee attempted to strangle Gary Burger at a show in Hamburg, presumably for perceived blasphemy."
