Just for fun, I thought I'd do a post featuring acts named after monkeys, apes etc. The list will have some well known acts, as well as some not so well known.
We'll start with the obvious, LOL .
In the mid 60's, record producer Don Kirshner, along with a few others, created a band for TV called the Monkees. Originally, they didn't record or play any music, that was left to studio musicians . The eventually were able to preform and were the darlings of pre-teen girls for years. Here is a sample of their work.
Gorillaz is a music project by Daman Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. They are one of the best non-bands that I've ever heard. Here they are with " Clint Eastwood "
German alt band, Guano Apes are up next with " Open Your Eyes"
Here's Hip Hop group Monkey Sons with " They Told Us "
Rainbow Butt Monkeys check in with " Let's Pretend "
Finally we have New York Funk group, Mandrill, with " Livin It Up "
