Monte Casino is what happens when great friends from different projects finally decide to get together and make some noise. Is it a "side project"? Sure. Remember, Led Zeppelin started out as a side project (...ok, not really). Tony sings in Mavalour, Joe is producing and playing bass in Summer Dare, and Tim is the lead guitarist in Pebble Theory. Are those bands great? Yes, they are. But now is the age of side projects, and dare I say, "supergroups". Them Crooked Vultures and The Dead Weather are both in heavy rotation for me right now. We had no choice in the matter, really. Funny thing is, MC sounds like none of the bands listed above, and sometimes doesn't even sound like itself. What is this sound? We say it's rock with no borders. If we decide to get heavy, we do. If an acoustic guitar is around, we'll work with that. If we can convince Tony to write some lyrics, well, then he sings lead. It's just like that. "Ol' Jed's A Millionaire" is the follow-up EP to the critically-acclaimed "Torsos And Good Times" album. We haven't lost our hard rock edge, yet have created something that is more personal and accessible this time around. Top-notch production has allowed the emotions and themes to shine in a new light. The EP single "All I Need" is already available for Rock Band on XBox 360 as a featured download.
