    As i have been talking about this band too much in other threads... i have decided to be a smart little Monkey Junkie and make a thread just for my favorite Monkey Men and their awesome Manager Marty the BANANAGER ;)

    the main guys of the band are:

    [​IMG]
    Ben G (Ben Graupner)

    [​IMG]
    Ben J (Ben Johnson) {way old pic... oh well}

    [​IMG]
    J.Action (Jackson Rathbone) {Yes.. the very same from Twilight not that it matters}

    [​IMG]
    JRad. (Jerad Anderson) {another old pic gosh}

    [​IMG]
    Uncle Larry

    They are not your "normal Indie" band. They are talented in the instruments that they use.(they have to be...) all of them know how to play each of the instruments, which comes in handy for the Monkey Switcheroo, where they actually switch instruments... sometimes during a song. Quite interesting in my opinion *shrugs*Also at each performance, there is at least one or more songs made on the spot<3 :)

    They honor a fallen friend(the late great Spencer Bell) who had died back in 2006 from Adrenal Cancer, by keeping his legacy alive(with the help of a few other indie bands... Tin Tin Can, The Stevedores..etc.) at concerts for the Spencer Bell Legacy. and they often preform one or more of his songs. But most of their songs that they play were written by JAction and Ben G.

    at the current moment these monkey men are on their 100 City tour(coming to my area soon) and writing the score for the flick Girlfriend which stars few of it's members.

    A Few great songs :IMO

    Wings On Fire
    Reaper
    .38 Special
    Shy Water
    Ugly Girl
    Smoke

    my desktop is a piece of crap... which is why i stuck my headphones in haha. but oh boy you should see how crazy i got... i was writing the band's name in the snow>.< to promote them but i ought to take a pic of it haha. But it is funny how most people only heard of the band because of Jackson talks about them in his interviews for New Moon :p But i am hyper because i have their latest album and i practically listen to it non stop except when my batteries die >.<
