Some bands are Cinderella stories. They succeed against all odds, rising above obscurity into legendary fame. Then there is the other kind of band. Like The French.

Monday Night Gig is a well-worn tour diary from a real band, a working band, a band that practices in a storage unit. You’ve heard their tape. You’ve seen the silk screened T shirts. Chances are, it was the band YOU used to play in!

A comedy for anyone who’s ever held a guitar, or has been tempted to take the stage. Neil Kopplin is Christian, the man with the dream. Seneca Relich is Tom 2, lifelong suffering friend. The French is their band… and they specialize in not only failure, but failure on a ridiculous scale. The bassist’s leg plots to kill them. The Japanese purchased the rights to their songs for $2.61. On tour, they’re upstaged by the likes of bun-throwing hooligans. So, in the end, they do what any sane band would do in the same dire situation… they pull up their skirts and play.

But then he sees her, and his life is never the same again.She is the Sexy Chef, a woman F.M. only briefly observes smoking in a seedy alley behind a local culinary institute. Transfixed by her image, the Sexy Chef becomes F.M.’s one last hope, the guiding light on an epic road-trip. He is joined by his friends: Tank, a crude, unemployable slacker, Paul, a quiet misanthrope, and Wynonna, Tank’s half-sister and practicing witch. Together, they track the elusive and alluring Chef.

The road is long and strange. F.M. is haunted by his old couch. The group is given direction from prankster spirits from beyond. Bizarre Saturday morning cartoon fetishes come to light. F.M. needs to be rescued from a tree while a naked metal patient throws hamburger buns at him. All the while the group stays one step behind the chef.

At the end of the line, the weary travelers find themselves at a Casino, where each discovers their individual destiny. It is at the Casino that F.M. finds the Chef. Naturally, nothing goes as planned. F.M. ends up alone, stranded in the desert, without his car, or friends. However, he does finally understand what must be done.
