Artist Biography For Mona De Bo

Mona De Bo Is A Latvian Band Playing A Blend Of Slowcore Drone And Noise Rock. The Band Was Started As A Guitar And Drums Duo By Edgars Rubenis And Edgars Eihmanis In 2005 In Rīga Latvia. The Band Released Its Self-Titled Debut LP In 2008. It Comprised Ten Songs In Latvian Delivered In A Garage/experimental Manner. The Band's Second Album Nekavējies Šīs Ir Spēles Ar Tevi Was Written And Recorded During The Summer 2009. It Exhibits A Strong Departure From Their Early Garage Rock Sound As The Music Has Become Much Slower In Tempos And Thicker In Tones. The Band Decided Not To Restrict Themselves To Their Usual Guitar/vocals/drums Set-Up And To Try A Different Instrumentation Instead The Densely Orchestrated Sound Was Achieved By The Addition Of An Organ Another Guitar Trombone French Horn And Double Bass. Stylistically It Pays Homage To The Drone Doom Of Earth And Sunn O And Blends It With Occasional Free Jazz Drumming And Noise Assaults Evoking Sonic Youth And My Bloody Valentine. In 2008 Just Before Releasing Their Debut Album Mona De Bo Traveled To The United States Appearing At The SXSW Music Conference And Playing Concerts In New York. The Concert At The Conference Brought Them To The Attention Of BBC's Tom Robinson Who Described Their Performance As "their Music Is Never Less Than Daring And At Its Best It Takes The Breath Away." Also That Year Mona De Bo Created A Soundtrack For A Theater Play On Adolescent Angst Crazy And Played The Material Live For About A Year. In 2012 Their Third Album Pag Pag Is Released The Band Joined This Time By A Group Of Brass Players. In Early Summer Mona De Bo Announced An Indefinite Hiatus. In 2014 The Band Is Getting Back Together After Two-Year Break. Http //www.Monadebo.Com
