Influences
the Smokin Fez Monkeys are brought to you by Photobucket

Loaded with old favorites and originals that someday will be, and armed with a batch of low tech whizbangs that can barely be classified as instruments, The Smokin Fez Monkeys are a special ops unit in the war against seriousness. If you force us to describe ourselves, we might evade you with something artsy and esoteric like, “Cheapshot trashophonic retrovaudevillian gypsy hobo quackeristic wackhouse with a twist of Spike on the cutting edge of cornball.” But you can just call us a jug band. Our mission is to do to music what the Wienermobile did to the auto, what M.C. Escher did to the third dimension, what Bugs Bunny did to Elmer Fudd. We're trying like crazy to put the fun back into live music and bring the audience back into the mix. So give us a listen. Better yet, come and see us. And prepare yourself to clap your hands and stamp your feet and sing along; be part of the show, make smart remarks, and have a barrel of fun. We were going to say something about our great talent and brilliant technical skills, but we're out of space. Oh, yeah. Don't buy anything from Rattletrap Jack.

I wanted to pass on a note from a friend of mine to you guys...:)...

"while we were leaving (The Hessler Street Fair), me and Nick overheard a small group of people discussing the Smokin' Fez Monkeys in a very positive way."

This was on Saturday, probably around the time of your second performance at the Art Walk.

The Fez Monkeys are the talk of the town, i tell ya! ;)

YOWZA! That was a great concert at the Columbus Folk Festival on Sunday! Really great job guys! (and gal, of course!) I took LOTS of pictures, and if any are good (and considering the subject matters, it's doubtful ..) I'll send some along...

I hope the Columbus folks will invite youse back for main stage next year!!!
