A way upbeat dance track with just a touch of an 80s vibe.  Fabulous bass work by the incredible Matt Bissonette, some tasty guitar licks from brother Hubie Wang and killer horns courtesy of The Master, Ed Wynne.  

Originally written and recorded many years ago after hours at Daddy's Junky Music Store in Boston.   Good times....

Grumpy Old Monkthology

Man On A Chain

This updated take on a beautiful tune written more than a few years ago features a few different influences, production-wise - mainly Seal, with just a touch of Peter Gabriel.

I Know You Know (feat. Cheshire Trout)

Audio manipulation with intent to distribute copious amounts of extreme groove.

Monkification

Don't Say Nothin'

Brother dB throws lightning bolts around the studio in an attempt to see how many synths can be used on one tune.

Monkcentricity

Wannabe Evil Genius

Take a chance...play the tune.  You know you like the name...

Allegro con Chutzpah

Pulled from the FYM vaults, this track was recorded waaaaaaaay back in 1984 after hours at Daddy's Junky Music Store in Boston.  

Good times....

Funky Olde Monks

Man On A Chain (1984 version)

Me & The Mrs (1986 version)

The Lennon/McCartney classic, with a much funkier groove.  Recorded for the "Boston Does The Beatles" compilation double LP.

Come Together

Yes, we did.  Late at night...well into the morning...

Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite

A hard rocker with a sort of ska/reggae thing going on in the verses. Lotta keys - several synth solos, and a bridge that most likely wouldn't exist without the not-so-subtle influence of Golden Earring's epic tune Radar Love.

dB on keys and electronic percussion, Hubie Wang on guitars, Don Schiff commanding the N/S stick bass, John Ferraro tearing up the drums...and John Cross singing his tiny ass off.  Thanks to Michele Rubin for the killer backing vox.
