It's rock and roll, goddamit. Loud, punky, metalled-up rock and roll. The way it was meant to be.
PDM IS: A unique rock & roll side show influenced by Punk, Metal, Cartoons & Freak Shows.
Punch Drunk Monkeys were born on Halloween 1994 in the depressed city of Binghamton, New York. Disgusted by the self-righteous seriousness of the current crop of loud rock acts on the national scene, the band came together to sign a blood oath to forever change the face of rock and roll.
Okay maybe it wasn't a blood oath but if there had been snow they might have pissed their names in it.
Originally, Crappy and some of his musician buddies formed a "mock and roll" band, and they called it...'STOOL featuring Crappy the Clown". (Stool later changed their name to the Punch Drunk Monkeys) Known as the "Big Top of rock and roll", because of Crappy's use of large, strange props. Like an exploding out-house, an electric chair, and various explosive gags.
Crappy and the gang were also famous for a few all out food fights with there audiences, (the fans could throw back anything crappy and the band threw at them).
PDM has been seen on MTV's "Indie Outing", Canada's Much Music, and has played at silly industry bashes like NXNE, PMC and a few others, plus the ultracool underground festivals WE Fest (Wilmington, NC)(3x) and Alcoholocaust (Spencer, NY)(3x). The band was a main-stage act for the WFNX/Boston Phoenix "Best Music Poll" festival in 1997, Headlined the first ever "Royal Fest" zine convention in NYC and was a National Finalist/Regional winner in the Sam Goody/Musicland "UnVailed" band and board competition the same year.
