ALEX MINOFF

'Alex Minoff' is an American musician from Pennsylvania who is known for his work with the groups Golden, Weird War, and Extra-Golden.
Though coming from an independent (or "underground") rock 'n' roll tradition, Minoff plays Kenyan Benga music in Extra-Golden, which also includes a drummer and singer-guitarist from Kenya. Such blending of international styles is a trademark of Minoff's compositions.
He is typically a guitarist/singer but is also credited as playing drums on the Weird War record ''If You Can't Beat 'Em, Bite 'Em''.
Minof also played as a session man and/or collaborationist with other previously established groups, such as The Make-Up (on their lp/cd ''Untouchable Sound - Live!''), Ted Leo, Royal Trux, and Six Finger Satellite. He also is featured in a group called Mistle-Tones who compose holiday music.
Minoff often plays a Gibson Firebird guitar.
