ALTAMONT - Monkee's Uncle, The (CD)

California natives ALTAMONT are the brainchild of Dale Crover, drummer of the MELVIN'S, Having come together in the mid-90's in San Francisco, Dale explains the reason for the alternate outlet, "I had just bought my dream guitar, a '57 Les Paul Goldtop," says Dale. "It cost me good money, so I figured I'd better put it to good use." .., And ALTAMONT was born, Dale recruited his friends Dan Southwick on bass, and Joey Osbourne (Acid King) on drums, You can certainly hear the heavy 70's influences throughout Monkees' Uncle.
