The Monkees' Smash Hits—Heavier!
The Trouble With Monkeys has re-engineered the songs of the fabulous Monkees to sound as if they were performed by bands such as AC/DC, Mott the Hoople, the Sweet, Cheap Trick, Grand Funk Railroad, and the Ramones.
Our family-friendly show is a modern and energized rethink of the enduring melodies of those Monkees chart-toppers, but with big guitar riffs, soaring guitar solos, uplifting grooves, and textured vocals.
While we are the ONLY tribute act celebrating the Monkees with a ferocious and exuberant musical mash-up, all the sing-along charm of the original tracks—such as "I'm A Believer," "Mary, Mary," and "Pleasant Valley Sunday"—is intact. So, feel free to raise your voices and sing with us!
Headliners such as L.A. Guns, Berlin, X, Los Straitjackets, the Vibrators, the Empty Hearts, and Gary Hoey have asked us to open their shows, because they know we bring the party to warm up their fans. We also mix well with fellow tribute acts, and have joined bills with Zepparella, Get The Led Out (Led Zeppelin), Hell's Belles (AC/DC), and the Jean Genies (David Bowie).
Here we come...
