Yonatan Gat was one of the founders of high-energy Israeli trio Monotonix, a band known for their wild live shows and tireless work ethic. Monotonix toured the world non-stop for several years with their psych-heavy hard rock, and when the band called it a day in 2011, Gat continued on solo. Gat's guitar playing was characterized by both Brazilian-influenced melodies and blown-out punk production. On album he also contributed other various sonic elements, sometimes singing, playing guitar, or weaving in field recordings he'd gathered himself. ~ Fred Thomas
