Monitor Concerts Timeline

Michael Uhlenkott contacted me for photos, but I don't recall being at any of these shows. He kindly provided the timeline and this photo taken by an unknown photographer.

Sokol Hall, October 29, 1980

Steve Thomsen, keyboards; Laurie O'Connell, bass; Michael Uhlenkott, guitar and Keith Mitchell, drums. Keith later drummed with Mazzy Star. Michael, Keith & Juan Gomez (from Human Hands) had another band called the Romans.

There are possibly 2 volumes of New Wave Theater, "Best of New Wave Theater." Monitor was probably on on vol 2. Check Ebay and various hip video stores.

We'd like to find the outtakes!!
