Why Monkey is a garage band from Macau SAR. We dabble in music and jam in our free time, indie-folk, indie-rock and some alternative influences.
Music is water for the soul. Don't let it wither.
To make good music.
By reading Peter Joseph's "The New Human Rights Movement', followed by Thomas Piketty "Capital in the Twenty-First Century". Only by Education and Knowledge can the world be changed. Everything else is a band-aid.
My mom used to play Queen and Bee Gees in Vinyl. That's probably it.
Radiohead, Bob Marley, Bright Eyes, Placebo, Kings of Leon, Eddie Vedder, Queen, Jack Johnson, definitely Muse... I could be here all day...
It's a deep need, like a thirst that needs to be quenched.
In the end love is all that matters.
Nervous, excited, the strings seem to deceive the fingers for some reason.
Music business is dirty. Very dirty. That's what I hear from the professionals.
Just got here, give me a couple of months.
Monitors. Audio monitors. Different Audio Monitors. It was the devil who thought every monitor would play a mix differently.
Show up for concerts as much as possible. Also, my daughter loves to dance.
DO. NOT. CRUNCH. DYNAMICS. WITH. LOUDNESS. Believe this. (Also check out Bob Katz take on the loudness wars.)
Great bands from Macau: Turtle Giant, Why Oceans (not related to us... weird I know...), The Bridge, Concrete Lotus.
