Our November release is “Open the Door” by Pop Star Devils. Now I don’t know about you but if you saw these critters on your front doorstep on Halloween, you may not want to open the door! td
Pop Star Devils ask, “Who can we trust and do we care?”
Of course we do.
In an exciting and terrifying era, “Open the Door” dares us to embrace fear and laugh at an increasingly strange yet danceable present and future.
Pop Star Devils is a two-piece combo designed for recording popular music. Given the nature of their design, they extend their membership temporarily and exponentially as needed. They arose through the unsolved mystery that is the Mima Mounds, living amongst the pocket gophers, bringing them sacrificial lunch. They recently joined a sizable multiverse and realized the road to nirvana was paved with bone dancing – create an inexplicable groove that mystifies, perplexes, and sanctifies all at the same time. When the mood strikes them and if the time is right, they produce intense cyclic, oscillating vibration. They have done exactly that with their first release. It is almost religion.
Be the DJ. Love the heedless. The “Time of the Devils”, is now. Pop Star Devils will help you open the door.

Since 1983, Green Monkey Records has been releasing some beautiful, weird, wonderful, occasionally wistful, homegrown, mostly Pacific NW music from an always evolving crew who sometimes don’t much fit in elsewhere. Underground rock, obscure folk, forgotten Oly jazz, a stunningly deep pile of jolly Christmas joy. And, of course, the beautiful and massive Green Pajamas/Jeff Kelly catalog. GMR has always been an “artists first” label – we want our gang to achieve their creative vision. Head monkey Tom Dyer writes, plays, and records lots of it from his home(town) studio in Olympia, WA — including his own music – solo, with his True Olympians and a variety of combos – 24 albums to date. He is ably assisted by his longtime associate Howie Wahlen. If you wants to know more, all the deets can be found on our About page. Thanks for listening (and buying) – please feel welcome to share our music with all your human friends!
