About
linktr.ee/thesoundofmonday Longtime member of NYC's indie underground, Dave Jay Gerstein (or, Dave Jay), aka, The Sound of Monday, bridges past and present, pulling from the classic sounds of his heroes, from The Beatles and The Beach Boys to XTC and the MGM movie musical. The result is an outside-the-box theatrical approach to forward-thinking pop/rock, finding room for more than just the classic sounds of electric guitars and harmony vocals. Horns, woodwinds and strings create the chamber pop sounds reminiscent of many of his past and present influences, and add a new dimension to his longtime blend of hooks, humor, and adventurous arrangements. The Sound Of Monday began in mid-90s NYC, championed by the likes of Danny Weinkauf (They Might Giants), and producer Charles Newman (The Magnetic Fields). Since those glory days, Dave Jay’s production co./record label, Insightful Entertainment, has picked up the mantle, releasing a fury of TSOM singles, EPs and LPs. For Dave Jay, these releases mark a continuation of a career rooted in the musical ingredients that never grow old: ageless melodies, constant innovation, and an indie sensibility, and reflect Insightful Entertainment’s mission to “Raise Joy, Lift Spirits, & Inspire Insights”. Dave Jay began writing songs at age 9, aspiring to be the 5th Monkee, creating his own personal musical category, summed up onomona-poetically as J’Blammo Pop, smirkingly stating, “Hey, come up with your own name, you’ve got your own genre!”
