I gave it some thought and decided that our very first #MuggleMusicMonday should be used to appreciate a Muggle band that has been associated with the Wizard Rock Community in a few ways. Some of you may remember the Sock Puppet Rock Band Uncle Monsterface from the Unlimited Enthusiasm Expo when they toured the country with Harry and the Potters, or from their appearances as “Cousin Wizardface” on the Harry and the Potters’ Christmas compilation years ago.
I like to think of Uncle Monsterface as quintessential nerd rock. Many of us, clearly, are big nerds, dorks, and geeks… I mean, we listen to music about Harry Potter, for goodness sake! So what’s stopping us from moving down the line of nerdy music to listening to songs about Nintendo, Gary Gygax, or any number of other topics as sung not only by normal musicians, but by Sock Puppets as well!?
My answer? Nothing! So pay attention to the Wizrocklopedia Twitter to listen to songs from Uncle Monsterface through our Blip.fm profile. So keep looking, listen to the music we send out, and don’t forget to check out Uncle Monsterface in more depth for yourself!!
