Have Another Monkey is all about having fun! Whether we're playing at a local club or Game 6 of the 2002 World Series (which we did! also played at Dodger Stadium the same year for the Dodger's Christmas party. NO other band in SoCal can say they've done BOTH), we love to have fun. We have done shows with Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Dramarama and General Public. John Easdale (Singer/songwriter for Dramarama) heard our "Special" version of his song "Anything Anything" and said it was "the best version of his song that he had EVER heard and we should consider putting it on a 12 inch" (John's exact words, not paraphrased). Performing all over SoCal (Orange County, The South Bay, etc.), as well as NoCal (Mammoth), Reno and Las Vegas.

We're one of the few remaing bands on the circuit who perform 100% of the music you hear! Don't be fooled by karaoke bands that use sequencers, IPods and MP3 players to supplement their sound. If you hear more instruments than there are musicians on the stage, then you're watching a karaoke band...

They have had the opportunity to play with many of today's biggest stars including: Lynyrd Skynyrd, 38 Special, Marshall Tucker, Diamond Rio, Confederate Railroad and the Outlaws. Their debut single, "I Gotta Ride" is quickly becoming a new "Biker Classic"!
