1.) Melodic Straight Edge band from Vancouver BC Canada
2.) Minimalist electro/noise project from Slovakia formed in 2001
3.) A band of veteran musicians from Central NY (who sometimes open for THE RODS) - see http://www.bluemondayband.com
4.) BLUE MONDAY BLUESBAND http://www.bluemonday.info/Biography.html
With the intention of doing a one-time gig with a bluesband at a local jam session Blue Monday was formed.
The audience, as well as the bluesband members themselves were enthusiastic. So, we decided to continue this bluesband; and we did. After a few months of rehearsal on songs by Guy Forsyth, Tommy Castro, ZZ TOP, Mark Ford and many other bluesbands, Blue Monday managed to come up with a varied program.
In the past couple of years, Blue Monday has done several gigs in the Dutch blues-scene like, Nixx Bluesclub Enschede, Down Town Gemert, the opening act for Barrelhouse in "de Pul" in Uden, Bluestour in Cuijk, "Drijf in" Bluesfestival in Giethoorn, BLAST Blues in Asten, and many, many more......
In 2004 some of the Blue Monday musicians did a "minitour" with the "modern day Blues Queen" Miss Dede Priest from Austin Texas
The most important thing for the Blue Monday bluesband is to have a lot of fun "Playing the Blues" while entertaining the audience with an evening of "Rocking Rhythm & Blues"!!!

Bite the Curb
Blue Monday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These intense, angry lyrics from Blue Monday's "Bite the Curb" tell a story of betrayal and loss. The singer is fiercely protective of their family and is enraged at someone who took advantage of a dying man. The "shallow smile" and fake tears of the perpetrator only serve to worsen the situation, and the singer wishes for them to be harmed in retaliation. The lyrics are full of raw emotion and demonstrate the singer's commitment to defending their loved ones.
The line "Bite the fucking curb" is a reference to a violent act featured in the movie American History X, in which a neo-Nazi forces a victim to bite the curb and then stomps on their head, killing them. While it's unclear if the singer is literally calling for this level of violence, the line is certainly a brutal threat. The use of profanity throughout the lyrics adds to the intense, confrontational tone of the song.
Overall, "Bite the Curb" is a powerful song that addresses themes of loyalty, betrayal, and vengeance. The singer's anger and pain are palpable, and the lyrics leave a lasting impact on the listener.
Line by Line Meaning
BITE THE FUCKING CURB
I want you to suffer a violent and painful death by biting the curb
This is my family, get the fuck away
You have no right to be here as you are not a part of my family
Haven't you done enough with a shallow smile
You have caused enough harm and pain to my family while pretending to be nice
I'd love to see bloody and broken
I wish to see you injured and hurt as payment for your actions
You took advantage of a fucking dying man
You exploited a vulnerable and dying person for your own benefit
And you still have the audacity to look me in the eyes and pretend to cry
You have the nerve to act remorseful towards me despite your wrongdoing
Get the fuck out of my face
I want you to leave my presence right now
You even cheapened his last few hours
Your actions made his final moments less valuable and meaningful
Can you live with yourself?
Do you have the moral capacity to handle the guilt of what you have done?
I will not forgive
I refuse to pardon you for what you have done and the pain you have caused
