Ladies, don't be scared. We are harmless. Children don't be frightened. We are friendly. We are kind and nice. We all were brought up correctly. We are kind. We are all polite and nice. We are Monkey Power and we know what is right. We know our ABCs and we know how to count. We know the months and how many days are in each of them. We would never hurt a squirrel or even a rat. We are kind, we are nice, we are smart... We are Monkey Power! We are kind, we are smart, we are nice... We are Monkey Power!

about

This year we met in New York City, New York, where we rented a rehearsal space, just like a real band would. The place even had drums! As if that weren't enough, we also added a new member, a guy by the name of Mike Bell. He's not much of a musician, but he's an old high school friend and he's pretty fun to hang out with now that he's stopped feathering his hair and being abusive. He's still in a probationary period, and we haven't let him sign the "once a year for life" pact yet, but it's nice to have a fourth person to split expenses with. In fact, if you'd like to be in the band, just write and ask. You know the old saying, "If you have lots of money to waste, you can join the Monkey Power Trio." For $1000, we'll even put your face on the cover and let you sing all the songs!

about

The Monkey Power Trio image

The Monkey Power Trio Michigan

The Monkey Power Trio is both an art project and an oddball DIY band that makes songs by recording for 24 hours once a year. In these 1-day sessions, they create messy songs without the usual constraints of genre or musicianship. The group has convened annually since 1995 and is honor-bound to continue until the last guy alive does a solo album. ... more
