Hello, all you people out there in internet land. Or Internetsville. We just put 4 new songs online. The songs are...
The First Ever... Almost
Willow Tree
The Way Things Go
When It Matters
Two start with "W", and two start with "The". WOW! Hurry up and check them out! We'll probably have at least a couple of them up for download soon! But for now we want you to keep comin' back.
And, just to try to answer anything that I expect we might get:
No, we don't have anyone playing brass/woodwind/2nd guitar/keyboard in the band... for now! We might still be looking for someone. Definitely in the future, but for now we are working as a 3 piece! We are still writing new music even now and are assured when we do add another person, or people, we will have even more ideas to go with!
Following up on that, I believe the reasons for these kinds of things should be kept private between band members, so the most I will say is things weren't working out with the couple of members who are no longer with us! Know anybody who plays trumpet, trombone, sax, guitar, or keyboard? Send them our way... we might be interested . If not now, definitely sometime in the relatively near future!
So that's all for now. It has been a while since we really did a big "BAM" online, if I may phrase it that way, (I like to think of Elzar...
...rather than that other guy. For no reason, actually. Futurama is just that good.) so we're trying to make these new songs do just that! So add them to your profiles and tell all your friends and all that good stuff. Let us know what you think. Hope you dig them! Expect more in due time. Looking to do lots more of anything we can, ASAP. Help us out... spread the word... etc. etc.
Cya!

If you've been paying attention, you probably have already noticed that Monkey Jacket has not seemed to be very active recently. This is because I've been writing and we've been learning some new tunes for all you to check out, soon! I even put up a little preview for everyone on Youtube, so go HERE! and take a listen. And do us a favor, by registering on Youtube if you don't have an account (it takes about 30 seconds), and rate the video for 5 stars! And leave us some comments and all that while you're at it... The more of we get that stuff, the better chance we have of the song/video getting popular on Youtube, so that more people can see it. Here's that link once more:

So, to make this brief, the official point of this message is: Monkey Jacket will continue to be in hiding for a little while, but when that's over, expect new songs, shows, etc. Thanks everybody.

Hey everyone! Just letting you all know, after you check out all the songs on here, you should definitely head over to our Myspace to see what we got going over there! (And it's usually a pretty good amount of stuff!)
We're trying to make our Myspace the Number One Spot for listing shows and any exciting news that's going on with Monkey Jacket! Just within the last few days, we've sent out some info about about having our CD be reviewed on Absolutepunk.net, as well as myself having an interview with the wonderful people at The Overcast!
So what are you waiting for? Get off your lazy asses and head over to...
Monkey Jacket's Myspace Extravaganza!
Yeah! Check it! Thanks yo.

I don\'t know if you knew this, but a band called Small
Town Disaster has a dong that is almost word for word
and note for note Hello Solo. I don\'t know if you
copied them or they copied you, but you should check it
out. I assume that they copied you since you\'ve been
around longer.

Digging the new songs, Mick. It\'s definitely good to
hear some progress. To be honest with you, I thought
you guys sounded better before you had any brass. I
thought you guys were awesome when there were only two
sax players, you, bass player, and drummer. That\'s
what made you guys unique in my head. Most ska bands
kind of put the sax in the background and don\'t give
them many (if any) good lead roles. You guys, on the
other, hand had a very distict sound that emphasized
the sax. I know you don\'t have brass or woodwinds
right now, but I\'m just telling you my opinion. You
guys would sound better if you left the brass out of
the picture. Whatever happens, though, I support you
guys all the way. Keep up the progress.
