Out of the Jungle

Time for a quick recap of the life and times of Monkey Lord and it’s many minions. As you may have heard from the latest YouTube update, Antony “Rain” Stevens is no longer with Monkey Lord. Rain is still a great friend and an awesome musician so make sure you keep tabs on him.

The store is fixed! If you’ve been waiting to grab your copy of Breath, head on over to the store and pick up a copy today. If you’ve yet to experience this amazing track you need to rush right on over to the video below, and watch it right now – go ahead, we’ll wait for you.

Coming soon to the store – Phantom Power by Monkey Lord, a track guaranteed to put hair on your chest and send you running to grab a guitar.

So what happens when you cram too much awesome into one person? You blow out an eardrum. Chappers is still in the process of recouperating after his left eardrum blew out earlier this month. That hasn’t stopped him from posting to his YouTube channel. Between the excellent rock being recorded, and Chapman Guitars releasing the first 500 limited edition ML1 guitars it’s a wonder Chappers whole head didn’t explode from pure win.

Monkey Lord is a band that believes in sharing, and not just the foul stench of curry farts and sweaty armpits. As tons of lucky fans discovered recently – you can watch the band practicing and recording via a live video stream. Keep an eye on the home page and in the forums for a chance to catch the next show. And if you are wondering what Stick is doing during the video streams, head on over to his YouTube channel and watch his great tutorials on using the FXpansions BFD2 plugin to track drum parts for Monkey Lord.

Meanwhile, in the land of the Monkey Minions – also known as the MLF the win continues to grow. Hot off the mixing board and served up to YouTube is the latest Monkey Minion Collaboration in Drop D . The track features Dr. Karnivore, Sted, Cderycke, Meanomachine, Voodoorider, Fredtheshred, Grey, Monty, and Walliman for 8:40 of fun and musical mayhem.

The MLF’s resident master-poster ShadyDave offers a great synopsis of the track in this post. Speaking of ShadyDave – don’t forget to check out his excellent review site Shred-Reviews.
