FIST MONKEY BIO

Based out of Edgewood, Maryland and formed in the summer of 2009, FIST MONKEY soon recruited Brad Joins on lead guitar, Dave Jr. on the drums and later adding Phil on Bass guitar. The band then began searching for an appropriate front man and found the right fit with Vocalist/Guitarist; Kennylee. With the linup solidified they quickly got down to work and were soon playing the club circuit in the greater Baltimore area. Then late in 2010 our guitarist Brad developed Carpol Tunnell Syndrome, this forced the band to take a hiatius until Brad was able to return. Aftering hearing that Brads diagonisis required surgery and he was going to be unable to play for an extended period,  the band decided to look for another guitarist to fill the void. Local axe slinger Matt Tripp was available to audition and he soon joined the Fist Monkey lineup in Feb 2011. We are currently re-working our set lists and building up our fan base, re-tooling our presence on the world wide web and will soon be blazing a trail of rock&roll mayhem through the mid-atlantic once again.

              Fist Monkeys goal is to stray from the typical "bar room fodder" rock songs, with our diverse set lists. Blending the needed standards to keep our audience dancing and having a good time, but add a diverse and eclectic list of songs that will keep our fans coming back for more. We attempt to play the best tunes from the greatest era's of rock music from the '60's, '70's and '80's; Classic Rock, Electric Blues, Hard Rock and Instrumental Jams, with a touch of modern pop thrown in to keep our sound fresh. On any given gig, we will have local guest musicians sitting in with the band to add their own flavor and style to our shows. This keeps our live performances interesting, dynamic and fun. So check our giging calendar often and come on out to a Fist Monkey show. Have a drink, let your freak flag fly, cut the rug or just sit back and enjoy some great music.
