3 Daft Monkeys, Exeter Phoenix, Friday 5th November, 8.30pm
Support from The Starkadders and Karl Zumar
A veritable melee of musical styles are all evident within the 3 Daft Monkeys’ music – a unique brand of rousing vocals, frenetic fiddling, 12-string guitar, dancing bass and foot drum produce a sound far too diverse to be pigeonholed into one genre.
They create a stunning blend of upbeat, danceable music which, despite all its world influences, remains undeniably British. Whatever your taste in music, 3 Daft Monkeys offer something special and their unique blend of high octane, funked-up folk is guaranteed to get you dancing.
Oh, and we’ve just heard that the Exeter night of the 3 Daft Monkeys tour will be an exclusive four Daft Monkeys gig, as they are bringing along their original drummer, who thrilled the crowd in their amazing set at Beautiful Days this year.
The innovative Cornish trio have been busy writing and recording this year and are preparing for the release of their new studio album The Antiquated & The Arcane on 01 November 2010.
The band will be showcasing new tracks on their Autumn UK tour along with favourites from previous albums Hubbadillia and Social Vertigo.
