Beat-driven. Employing heavy elements of funk and soul, paris_monster closes a gap between synthesized sound & garage; between modern detail and old-school grit. Solid earth. Soaring soundscapes. A mass of noise. Volatility. Vocal singularity.

Dirty, glitchy, lyric-centered, groove-based. Funk and soul join with lyrical themes of bygone eras in rural settings.

Characters lost, mortality confronted. Love achieved, and denied. Americana. These themes stand in stark contrast to pounding grooves and electronic mayhem, creating depth and dimensions that could have been otherwise achieved only by dropping a modular synth in the corn fields of central NY or the woods of Connecticut.

NY indie experimental duo Paris Monster is hard to classify. With a sound that is beat-driven and groove-based, the band incorporates elements of funk, soul, synth-pop and garage sounds create something unique that has garnered them a growing fan base and critical acclaim.

JOSH DION and GEOFF KRALY formed Paris Monster in 2012 and continue to wow audiences with their live show. Although it is just the two of them performing, listeners swear they were hearing a full band! The duo has toured the US and Europe extensively and were invited by Questlove to perform at the 9th Annual Roots Picnic.

The band released their first EP It Once Had Been Kind in 2013, followed by several singles and a music video, as well as live-performance videos in partnership with Meinl Cymbals. In 2019, Paris Monster released their debut full length album Lamplight .

A prodigious talent, Josh began playing professionally in his single digit years; invited to the UConn Jazz Studies program by the time he was twelve. Immersed in the Jam Band scene with NYC funk band ulu, touring the US, Josh was soon noticed by jazz guitarist Chuck Loeb, who offered Josh an opportunity to be seen and heard by a new audience. Since he has worked with some of the most notable names in music: Spyro Gyra, Will Lee, Pat Martino, Jeff Kashiwa, Jason Miles, Edgar Winter, Randy Brecker, Bob James, and on and on.

Dion developed his solo career with the CD releases of the Josh Dion Band - "Give Love" and "Josh Dion Band Live".
