Anatrek Monkey
From fbft
Punk rock from Fergus Falls, MN. Ryan and Monty came up with the name while bored in high school. Anatrek = Anarchy + Star Trek, two things we thought were stupid. We combined the two symbols, added "monkey" (not sure why) and called it a band.
In 1993 we actually started playing together as a band (what a concept!), switching guitar players and practice spaces until we hit the final lineup.
Members
- Ryan Anderson (bass, vocals)
- Mark Botschner (bass)
- Monty Botschner (vocals)
- Jay Herman (drums)
- Scott Johnson (guitar)
- Nick Prischmann (guitar)
- Neal Goldenstein (guitar)
Highlights
- Booked the very first "punk rock" shows at the old Kaddatz Hotel in Fergus Falls.
- Came close to playing Cornstock after submitting a tape that featured dialogue from a Brady Bunch episode and a very crude bootleg of a Steel Pole Bathtub show.
Shows
May 1994 - Kaddatz Hotel, Fergus Falls, MN with Orange 17, Haul and Grammahead (FF).

Discography
We have videos of the shows at the Kaddatz and the Teen Center and some really bad four-track recordings of a song or two, but that's about it.
