Sounds Like"...mankind originated from a bunch of deranged ex-monkeys with a propensity for drink. So raise your glass and think of the fall from the grace of the trees, the descent of monkey into man ... monkey tasted the fruit of the tree and devolution began." -- salamander

   About the ExMonkeys


"...can get aggressive in a make-you-shake-your-ass-while-head-bangin' kinda way. A medley of electronic, hip-hop, experimental, and punk rock influences. The Ex-Monkeys wield software, turntables and an 808 as if they were W.A.D.S (Weapons of Ass Destruction!) The result is bass and beat-heavy, with nice noise and crunch." -- them Spazz folk

"Aided by deft turntable-ism, Raleigh duo The ExMonkeys mixes space-age electrojunk into beat-heavy trip-hop, swinging from branches of desolate down-tempo to full-on party anthems." -- Spencer Griffith, Independent Weekly

"gear heavy jams careen from blissed trip-hop to aggressive beat-based anthems without notice. At its best, the Ex-Monkeys make music meant for heroics" -- Grayson Currin, Independent Weekly

"the ExMonkeys made a huge fuckin sound" -- Juan Huevos, briefcaserockers.com

"Ex-Monkeys are 2/3rds of the late-90s trip-hop band Friend Side Monkey, and as of now, at least, it's safe to say that they've picked up more or less where FSM left off. Too soon to know what the future holds." -- Ross Grady, trianglerock.com

*** ***

the ExMonkeys have played shows with: Does It Offend You, Yeah? / Gliss / Mecca Normal / Sonic Death Rabbit / EAR PWR

One or both of us have played shows with: Terminator X / Trans Am / Superchunk / Mark Hosler of Negativland / Ben Folds Five / Dr. Eugene Chadbourne

Originally, Ian was a member of the Wifflefist media collective, working on multimedia performances and playing in the bands The Beatless, Polycarp and Repetophile. Ed could be found hanging out and making sounds on Friday nights at WXDU with DJ Samps, 9th Wonder and Big Dho.

Hey, hows it goin?? So i just finished up working on my new song "metaphor" and i was hoping you could take 4:45 seconds out of your time to listen. I know that more than likely a lot of people ask you to listen to a song of theirs, but it would reeaaallly mean a lot to me if you would! I think its my best song yet!Thx!
Best regards,
