It all started in the fall of 2009 at a local coffee house. Founder Eric Kaminski was playing acoustic versions of songs he had written for his solo project. He used to joke around that he and a former member brought the crowd and helped keep the coffee house in business. They called themselves the heroes of Monday night. A friend and fan of these "heroes" said that they should join forces and start a band. The idea was gold. A few weeks went by and a band started to take shape, but they couldn't decide on a name. But then it happened. It was right in front of them the entire time. Monday Night Heroes.
