Erectus Monotone

Erectus Monotone were a short-lived American avant-garde indie-rock band from Chapel Hill, NC, formed probably sometime around the summer of 1989. Three of them, Kevin Collins (vocals, guitar), Andy Freeburn (guitar,vocals) and Will "Casper" Lee (drums) had been jamming together previously with another fellow named David Jordan, but things hadn't really worked out. However, they came across their friend Jennifer Walker (bass) and things started to work out. The band released several singles in the early 90's before splitting up.

Peel played tracks from the group between 1991 and 1993 on his radio programmes. When reviewing their single, 'Cathode Gumshoe' for the NME Singles Reviews in 1991, he described their indie rock sound as "It just sounds like something they had to get out of their system".
