- **Event Name**: Monks: The Transatlantic Feedback at Electric Palace. Presented by First Tuesdays with the Frat Cave
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 07 Apr, 2026 at 07:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: The Monks - five GIs in cold war Germany who billed themselves as the anti-Beatles. Rocking hard through the 60s they basically invented industrial, kraut rock, heavy metal, punk and techno music.

First Tuesdays is when we screen a select rockumentary, keeping the bar open and the drinks flowing. For each event we will collaborate with a local business, musician or artist.

Established in AD2012, the Fratcave is an occasional gathering of kool kats &amp; misfits, based in Hastings, who all share a love for great music and groovy times. When they say 'great music' they mean the very best in 60s garage, beat, fuzz, psych and surf and for April's First Tuesday the Fratcave hosts Justin Ellis, Ian Greensmith and Duncan Bray will screen this genre-overlapping documentary about one of their favourite bands, Monks. 

In Dietmar Post and Lucia Palacios' documentary about one of the most intriguing prophetic cult bands of the '60s we meet The Monks - 5 American GIs stationed in cold war Germany who billed themselves as the anti-Beatles. Heavy on feedback, nihilism and electrical banjo, they had strange haircuts, dressed in black and mocked the military. They rocked harder than any of their mid-sixties counterparts while managing to basically invent industrial, kraut rock, heavy metal, punk and techno music.

The band's lone album "Black Monk Time," released by German Polydor in 1966, was a dizzy, wondrous combo of Teutonic austerity and American exuberance. But it flopped, and the group fell apart in 1967. 

The Monks were wrested from obscurity three decades later, thanks to the ardent embrace of garage- rock fans, the well-received release of bassist Eddie Shaw's self-published 1994 memoir (also titled "Black Monk Time") and the first American issue of the album in 1997 on Rick Rubin and Henry Rollins' label Infinite Zero. "The Transatlantic Feedback" climaxes with footage of the band's debut U.S. gig at New York's Cavestomp Festival in 1999.
