The Monco Poncho


“Who D0 They Sound Like?” They can’t be compared to anyone else; they are The Monco Poncho (name explained below). Their sound is a refined blend of rock, surfer-rock, and spaghetti western; newer songs include psychedelic and tribal variations. The band consists of Nick “Nick” Durham (lead vocals and support guitar), “Navajo” Joe Ibanez (lead guitar and support vocals), “Judgment” Dave Mayfield (bass guitar and support vocals), and Kane “Snake-oil” Mackey (drums/percussion).

Their first album, Miserable Man, was released in 2010, much to the delight of their faithful fans in the Dallas, Texas region. The album is a collection of 11 songs written by frontman Nick Durham, produced by Salim Nourallah at Pleasantry Lane Studios. The Monco Poncho quickly gathers followers as it livens up the Dallas music scene with its vivacious performances, including bandit masks, ponchos, smoke, cap guns, and always a surprise or two for the audience to behold. Music scene blogger The Ghost of Blind Lemon noted: “the band has amassed a loyal and surprisingly large following. This is an especially impressive feat considering the fact turnout to (Dallas live music) shows has been declining steadily for years.”

Nick Durham’s voice fits the style of this music well; his easy-going vocals combined with the repetitive chants and choruses in The Monco Poncho tracks make for songs that are sing-along and dance quality. The drumming style of Kane Mackey is solid and energetic, an adrenaline rush for the entire band and anyone within earshot.
