Our favourite monsters since Sulley and Mike Wazowski are set to kick down the doors of The Hi-Fi on Friday April 4 with their metal, punk, space-rock psychedelia.

Since forming in 1989, New Jersey’s Monster Magnet have crafted their signature sound over nine albums with waves of the ’60s, punctured by dirty ’70s riffs. Adding to a discography of chart-shaking, kookily-named songs like ‘Space Lord’, ‘Negasonic Teenage Warhead’ and ‘Spine Of God’, their latest album Last Patrol has already garnered praise for fusing vintage atmospherics with a cosmic undercurrent. Leadman Dave Wyndorf articulates it as “…Space-Noir, tales of cosmic revenge, peaking libidos, alienation and epic strangeness.” Having toured previously with Aerosmith, Metallica, Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson, Monster Magnet’s show is sure to be frighteningly good.
