"The Montauk Project is an original rock band hailing from the East End of Long Island, NY. Formed in the early 2010’s, the band continually blows minds one show at a time raining down guitar solos like a steady downpour from a raging storm. Compared to the black-blue-purple styles of Seattle grunge Filtered through 90’s alt and brought forward a couple decades, the band serves up an ice-cold shot of classic hard rock with a twist of psychedelia. The Montauk Project has shared the stage with such artists as The Growlers, Robby Krieger (The Doors), The Marshall Tucker Band, Paul Simon, Donavon Frankenreiter, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Temples, White Denim, and Chad Smith (The Red Hot Chili Peppers). They have been a prominent fixture at the Montauk Music Festival for the last decade but have also graced the stage at showcases such as SXSW, CMJ, The Great South Bay Music Fest, KABOO, The Paramount, and Webster Hall. 2023 finds The Project in the studio with renowned engineer and producer Oliver Straus (Arctic Monkeys, Taking Back Sunday, King Princess) working on their “ETHOS” EP slated to drop in May. Go see them this summer before the inevitable arena gigs and TV appearances start lining up. "
