Buy nowIn their own unique DIY style, 3 Daft Monkeys have become one of the most popular touring bands on the UK scene. It is refreshing to hear their quirky, original and unusual approach to music, and their exhilarating and energetic live performances draw huge audiences wherever they play.
Their songs "weave whimsy, wit and wisdom through a tapestry of tales, happily skipping across the boundaries of genre to create their own unique style. Hypnotic Klezmer spirals around, romantic Latino vibes flaunt themselves openly, as weird waltzes wander nonchalantly by and a gypsy-jazz vibe wafts through on the breeze" (Green Man Music). Expect all this at a live 3DM gig, delivered with an underlying celtic vibe, and a warm, witty and intimate approach to their audiences.
The release of their latest CD The Antiquated and the Arcane in November 2010 is another landmark in the prolific song writing of the Monkeys, and has been heralded as their best work to date. It is a very personal but very positive and uplifting piece of work which will make the listener think, question, cry, laugh and, of course, dance. It has been described as "a rollercoaster journey via the frenetic, the serene and the surreal" (West Briton)
"A brilliant band… I think this is absolutely amazing" – Mike Harding (Radio 2)
