Monorchid

Formed in 1995 in Washington, DC, Monorchid featured a mix of punk and rock and roll, which was dubbed by some as "cajuncore", and reunited ex-Circus Lupus members Chris Thomson (vocals) and Chris Hamley (guitar). Andy Cone (guitar), Andy Coronado (bass), and [a=Tom Allnut] (drums) rounded out the band. After three 7" releases, the band released their first LP, "Let Them Eat" on no less than 3 labels (with Simple Machines and Simple Machines sharing the CD issue and Simple Machines doing the vinyl). The group jumped to Simple Machines for their second LP, "Who Put Out The Fire?". Chris Hamley quit after the recording and the band broke up shortly after the release. Thomson and Coronado continued on in Skull Kontrol, who also recorded for Touch And Go. The Monorchid reunited for an appearance at Touch And Go's 25th Anniversary party in 2006.
