I suppose Montera began when I met Tomas. First, it was daily 8 am writing sessions in the dorms. Then, it was the recording of "Spring." And for a minute there, a merry, consistent cast of characters formed something of what you would call a "band."
It's hard to say what Montera is now. Is it a band? A radio show? A person? Does it even matter? I don't know. But the music goes on.
