Usually when I get a myspace friend request from band, I immediately "deny", discredit the group and curse the day my friends convinced me to sign up for this evil account. Fortunately I gave Monopoli the benefit of the doubt, and swung by their myspace page for a peak.

I was immediately grabbed by the four letters that any self-respecting music-loving Torontonian has on their mind right now: NXNE

Seeing as this Washington based band was willing to make the trek to our beloved festival, I opted to check out a song and was surprisingly impressed! I recommend giving "Hit and Run" a listen.

You've got two chances to catch Monopoli:
Jun 9 2006 - Midnight @ Crowbar (577 King W.)
Jun 10 2006 - 6:00 PM @ Yonge & Dundas Square

The rest of the Dundas Square line-up is as follows:

12:00 October Guard
1:00 Jo Mango
2:00 Spiral Beach
3:00 Kobayashi
4:00 Doritos Buzz Band Winner
5:00 Megabage
6:00 Monopoli
7:00 Project Move
