The Munks hailed from Montreal, Quebec. In 1964 (and prior to Desrosier joining), they were known as Exit 4 and released one single on the Regency label in 1965 called "Please Come Back Marie" which was quite popular in Montreal.

After changing their name to The Munks in 1966 and adopting monks habits as their stage persona, they were signed to Columbia Records. They released "Long Time Waiting" on Columbia to little fanfare. Subsequent singles followed on Phonodisc and London Records with a modicum of local success.

In 1969, the band (minus Hindsgaul) teamed up with Franki Hart (using her original stage name) and Bill Hill (of J.B. and the Playboys) to form Freedom North.

Kaye, St. Jean and Leroux all ended up as part of Don Graham's band Graham County in 1971.
