Artist Information Biography Few artists could make a successful transition from earning a Masters in Flute Performance from the Boston Conservatory to performing with the Visions 2000 Gospel Choir to fronting the power pop punk band ZETA BANE.  Monica Attell has done that, and her stature within the independent music scene is on the rise. Fueled by Attell’s powerful yet versatile vocals, which can range from ballad to hard-driving power pop punk goddess, ZETA BANE opened for acts such as Berlin; Wakefield; David Johanssen; and Attell’s brother, stand-up comic and Comedy Central personality Dave Attell. When that band broke up in 2004, Monica gathered two albums worth of material and got back in the studio. The album “Bank Geek” followed, the title a nod to the band friends that she’s known since starting the flute in fourth grade.  “My best friends were always in the school band with me,” Attell says.  “When you get to high school, you realize that’s your support group.  Many of my band friends are still playing, too.” In 2008, Monica released "My Bully." Attell is also a talented music teacher,  traveling to Haiti for eight days to teach recorder to over 250 children and 75 teachers.  Her documentary about the trip, “The Pied Piper of La Gonave,” premiered at the Avon Theater in Stamford, CT and has been shown at Yale, the University of Bridgeport, Sacred Heart University, and SOBs in New York City. Monica has performed at First Friday Las Vegas, The Block Island Music Festival, Unicity Music Festival, and the CT Wine Festival. She has appeared on the NYC TV program "Gigs,"  hosted by The Apprentice alum Erika Ventrini. Monica Attell was featured in the September 2007 issue of Urban Mainstream Magazine and in the November 2007 issue of Northeast Performer Magazine.
