| here's your update. sorry, as it precedes our site's intro. okay. so. been a while, eh old chum? yeah, that happens. things happen, conflicts occur, and like a stalagmite, defecit begins to take shape. you might've stuck a fork in us, but baby, we ain't through. maybe our best times are in our past.....or maybe they aren't. let's have a little faith in the magic of good times, both past and potential. i'll go ahead and lay down some info for ya: we are currently planning to bust out a few performances when the weather is nicer, and the engagments in the 'ol personal planner becomes sparser. let's set our sights on march or april for a rockin' good time. it'll give us a little space to maybe shake the rust off our funky robots, and blow a few barnacles off this boat of sonic wiles. all we are askin' is for a little faith.
-brother love
....and now for more of the usual.....
Hey kids, welcome to the official Shaftmonkey site, yeah...this deal is real special ain't it? if you have questions or comments please contact us at Shaftmonkeys@yahoo.com, we'll see what we can do.
The band members are as follows: Ben, aka: "Brother Love" (tuba, vocals) Parker, aka: "Parker Q Slapnutz" (drums, vocals, and dancer) and Matt, aka: "The Admiral" (trumpet, drums, and vocals).
ABOUT THE BAND
The Shaftmonkeys are the brain child of Ben and Matt. I'm not sure what kind of substance abuse was going on when they thought of this, but the original idea was to put togther a group to play at Gallery Hop here in the beloved town of Columbus. You may remember the Shaftmonkeys by a different name, the Masochist Boyscouts, however, this caused a little bit of friction within the band members. The band decided in a democratic fashion, over a meal at the local applebees, that they shall now be known as "The Shaftmonkeys" (cue trumpet fanfare).
In the short time the band has existed, they have enjoyed some unexpected success. Money is literally thrown at their feet. They have been invited to play at improv theatres, local clubs, and shops. They were even made an official house band of "Paul Robinett aromatherapy Candles", (http://www.paulrobinett.com ) who is probably both, their biggest fan, and wealthiest supporter. The band has also graced the pages of the prestigous Columbus Alive in the meltdown section following a galleryhop.
Be sure to check us out. The site will list upcoming performances, and other such matters of that nature.
-That is all.
ROCK ON!
