Trashmonk is/was Nick Laird-Clowes (of Dream Academy fame). The album Mona Lisa Overdrive is a future, if not already a cult classic, listen and enjoy (shades of onform Lennon) This album was a creation after Nick spent time in a Himalayan monastery to recover from drug addiction. Monk Rehab must be nice to look down on a world of former sin high upon the mountain...
Linking you to this sampler on Amazon.com to enjoy and possibly purchase...
