Flaunting an indie rock sound with sultry vocals and hints of new wave,
Monsters Are Waiting feature the talents of
Annalee Fery (vocals, keyboard),
Eric Gardner (drums), former
Eve 6 co-founder
Jonathan Siebels (guitar, bass), and
Andrew Clark (bass, guitar).
Monsters Are Waiting formed in Los Angeles in 2005, taking their name from one of their own songs and cutting their teeth on the area's party circuit. Those early shows led to a tour with
stellastarr* and
Editors. In October 2005 the group released a self-titled EP through its own website and Amoeba Records;
Fascination, the band's full-length debut, followed in 2006. That November, the band headed to New York to play the CMJ Music Marathon before embarking on a national tour with
She Wants Revenge and
Pretty Girls Make Graves. ~ Kenyon Hopkin, All Music Guide
