2007 Last Band Standing Prep

We're back in rehearsals preparing for more recordings that we will be submitting to this year's KFOX Last Band Standing Contest later this year. Many songs have been tossed around and ran through and we are still deciding what the final ones will be. Stand by to find out the chosen ones. Once recording is complete they will be posted right here on our official website as well as our myspace website.

 

Cocktail Monkeys Original Song

Although we are a cover band, we toyed with the idea of playing an original song every so often. Earlier this year we were presented a song written by local songwriter and friend of the band, Dave Maurischat. We all agreed it suited our sound and was a perfect song for us to learn and perform at our shows. We've been adding it to our set on occasion and it has been blending in nicely and getting positive reaction from all audiences. The next step is to record it and have it posted on our websites for everyone's listening pleasure.
