Биография

100 Monkeys is a band described by SPIN.com as "funk rock" and by RollingStone.com as "tribal sounds with vocals recalling Jim Morrison's baritone croon." Beyond Race Magazine says they are "sing-along-worthy, sometimes bluesy" and MTV.com describes the band as a mix of "Iggy Pop with the Raconteurs." 100 Monkeys, however, jest that their music is purely "onomatopoetic, but for the sake of simplicity, we'll call it funky rock-n-roll." This quintet of multi-instrumentalists is comprised of multi-faceted artists, actors, and producers including Jackson Rathbone (who appears in such movies as "The Last Airbender" and the "Twilight" motion picture franchise), Ben Graupner (Trapped in the 5150, Devolved), Jerad Anderson (Wayne/Lauren Film Company), Lawrence Abrams (of the great Willie Bobo, Bob Hope U.S.O. tour, and The Artist Consortium), and Ben Johnson (of the Stevedores and music producer of Spencer Bell's "Brain"). With a set list that never repeats twice, they are a band that truly knows how to put on their own rock show.
