In November 2002 the city of Groningen - the Dutch capital of surf & garagepunk music - gave birth to it's newest sensation : The Monroes . During an alcohol infested all-night party in the outlands, four talented musicians decided to join forces and lay down some wild tunes.

By doing so for some months, they could clear their minds totally from all the musical crap that was thrown at them for years by those lame deejays and veejays.
