   About MONKEY CHILD
MONKEY CHILD is a rock band playing music written by their founder Chuck Clawson and by keyboardist Dave Bauer. Monkey Child is also an aggressively indie songwriter collaboration that keeps it's chops sharp playing both originals and covers for clubs and private events around Colorado. Bassist and singer Mark Byrd lends his influence on arrangements and brings exceptionally solid licks on the p-bass. MONKEY CHILD's sound has been compared to John Hiatt, John Mellencamp, Bruce Springsteen, Guster, Van Morrison and Ryan Adams.

We call what we do alt.roots, but that's our name for it. We've been labeled heartland, Americana, and pop-rock. Whatever it is, we write, play, and produce it ourselves. This is a long-lived project - we've been working together over five years now and plan to continue. Portions of our next album are already recorded. Dave and Chuck continue to write new material, and we continue to gig frequently.

Monkey Child's debut CD, "The Long Shot", was recently released by Obsolete Records, and can be purchased for $10 at any of our live shows, or for $12 at our CD Baby page.

When you get the chance to listen to some of our songs, please leave a comment and let us know which ones you like best.


Have a lovely day,

Instead of taking time off from shows while your guitarist gets a new back, just have him lay down and play. Use mirrors or cameras so people can see if you like. Heck, have everyone possible lay down during the gigs. Start a whole new trend!

You could even bring inflatable mattresses, and play bed rock!!!
