PRESS RELEASE:
Canadian author morphed minstrel now goes electric!
Canadian poet, Luigi Monteferrante, who released Snake Crossing, his first debut album, on World Book Day this past 23rd April as McMonty, an acoustic singer/songwriter of gritty music & streetwise poetics, now goes electronic.
After two months of airplay on Radio Fleet FM’s Dirty Wordz Show (NZ) and Radio 8 (Washington), both of whom have been playing McMonty’s tunes alongside Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, Patti Smith…and McMonty …”as Monteferrante was a bit long”, Luigi’s gone electronic with a new ensemble of music for the savant-garde: Gang of Tolstoy.
Gang of Tolstoy’s No Place Like Happy available on 1st May, 2009 – International Worker’s Day!

Drawing from a broad range of sources, including contemporary classical music, electro-acoustic, minimalism, ambient, GOT celebrates time and technology: past, present and future: the mad march of history in Stalingrad-Berlin Express, or in an entirely different mode, China 2021. From the minimalist, yet celebratory, L.A. to the crackle-and-pop automata of Magazine, GOT’s No Place Like Happy fires “the emotive dopamine and cerebral adrenaline into our felicitious listeners.” (GOT)
McMonty’s Snake Crossing available 23rd April 2009 - World Book Day.
