“Brilliantly bonkers world folk festival favourites” The Sunday Times
“Highlight of Glastonbury” Mark Radcliﬀe BBC2
With a fiery helter-skelter blend of influences from East and West, Monkeys inject a
unique wildness into their music, producing a symphonious cacophony of styles.
Silvery vocal melodies soar above percussive global beats and rhythms, while
passionate fiddle-driven tunes weave around animated guitar and bass, all
presented with outstanding musicianship in their famously theatrical live
performances.
The band have just released their brand new album “Information Camouflage”,
which has received stunning reviews and has already been heralded by critics as
their “album of the year 2024”. This project was completely funded by the band's
dedicated global fan base.
This multi-award-winning independent live act continues to deliver dynamic,
rampageous, powerful performances of their completely original songs with an
endless energy and enthusiasm! With many years of International festival
experience in hand, 3 Daft Monkeys certainly know how to work a festival crowd,
and are guaranteed to whip an audience into a frenzy of emotions with every
performance.
3 Daft Monkeys have been personally invited to play live sessions on both
the Bob Harris, and Mark Radcliﬀe BBC Radio 2 shows, with Mark Radcliﬀe
hailing their live show as one of his “Highlights of Glastonbury”
“Punkish suss, vibrant song-writing, rabble-rousing tune smithery and plaintive lyricism” (Louder than War)
“Varied and stirring acoustic styles…outstanding fiddle work” (The Guardian)
“From wildly frenetic observation and reflective narrative to faintly macabre revelations” (Folkworks)
“Amazing energy” (Bob Harris, BBC2)
“One of my favourite festival moments ever” (Mike Harding BBC2)
“One of the hardest-working, best lyric-writing, most joyful, danceable bands known to the universe!”
(Green Gathering)
“A quality balance of spaced-out dizziness, dance-ability and sophisticated folk music” (Bearded Theory)
“The musicianship- the virtuosity, the song craft, the arrangement is simply astonishing” (Spiral Earth)
