Overview

Hailing from Adelaide, Australia, Moni Lashes is the drummer for The Babes.  Picking up her first pair of drum sticks at the age of five, Moni was destined to be a rock drummer, as music is a family affair, with her father also being her first drum teacher. The Babes consist of Moni on drums, her sister, Donna, on lead guitar, their brother Corey on bass guitar, and brother-from-another-mother J.D as lead vocalist.  Touring extensively internationally, Moni has performed with The Babes in Australia, the U.S.A, Japan twice, and was even deployed to Iraq by the Defence Force, to entertain the troops in a war zone.  

Moni set an Official World Record in 2015, becoming the first person to ever play drums non-stop without a single break outdoors.  It gained her drumming notoriety around the world, including being featured in Drummer Magazine, TomTom Magazine, DrumScene Magazine, Las Vegas Morning news, and domestic Australian media.  The Hard Rock Cafe in Osaka Japan named a drink after Moni, to signify her accomplishment, naming it the "Moni Lashes Mean Margarita". Moni has conducted drum clinics in the USA and Australia, as well as Q&A events where fellow drummers are always eager to attend and hear the story of the world record, and tales of touring with The Babes.

In 2008, Moni was named Best Rock Drummer of South Australia, and in 2011 was runner-up nationally in the "Drummer of Tomorrow" competition, taking out first place in the public choice vote.  
 
As well as drumming and writing songs for The Babes,  she produces a variety of styles of music for subscription services such as Netflix, Youtube and animations. When not on tour with The Babes, Moni is a drum educator to students in Adelaide.

Moni and The Babes pride themselves on their stage show, and making every performance memorable for the crowd, which is proven with Moni's Harley Davidson motorbike which attaches to her Pearl Drum kit. It is something that has to be seen, to be believed.
