Let me just begin by saying, "Holy shit." I've seen the Israeli rock trio Monotonix before, I've interviewed them, I think I know what they're about. But last night's show at the Bug Jar was a cross between Caligula and the ball pit at Chuck E. Cheese, and one of the best concerts I've ever seen ever.

Shirtless and in Charlie's Angels-era ball-hugger shorts, the hirsute band literally attacked the audience, with singer Levi Yomtov immediately sailing over the top of everybody's head before careening headlong onto the sound booth. The music was extremely heavy, sweaty, and intense, making Black Flag and Black Sabbath seem gray at best. The band set up on the floor, and the crowd teetered on the brink of chaos as it engulfed the drummer. Things started to get broken. And that was just the first song.

Perched on a drum throne and help aloft atop the audience's shoulders, Yomtov drummed on the various appliances on the Bug Jar's bizzaro world apartment. It was a complete rock 'n' roll frenzy.

Buffalo long-hairs Chylde delivered a heavy 70's-tinged set before The Monotonix mania. I've been known to exaggerate, like, a million times a day, but this show is easily in my Top 10 - no, my Top 5, right up there with the night I got my first blowjob in the Wendy's parking lot after seeing The Ramones. Gabba gabba oy!
