“Super tight rhythms n' supa funky grooves. Plus they look the part, too. Monkey Puzzle are surely one of the South's most entertaining live acts.”

Richard Banks, BBC Introducing

Monkey Puzzle are a super creative and energetic band, all with masses of performing and recording experience all around the UK. Along with life's roller coaster, Monkey Puzzle are inspired by a diverse musical bunch including artists like Maceo Parker, Herbie Hancock, Frank Zappa, Cinematic Orchestra, Fela Kuti, Nu Yorican Soul and James Brown.

Formed in January 2009 over a winter pint, they have morphed into a floor stomping funk, dance and jazz band of a highly energetic and rousing nature with a fast growing following of young Monkeys in the making.

Having started off playing free gigs in local bars, they soon progressed to regular shows and events at venues all around the South of the UK. Known for going that extra 10 miles, its not unusual to go home from a Monkey Puzzle show with a free CD, a percussive instrument, sweets, and proudly bearing the band insignia in the form of exclusive stickers or badges!

They are starting to build their fan base up in London, Brighton and Bristol now so watch out for a show near you and come be a part of a night like no other!

“Monkey puzzle are the works of musical genius down to the last piece”

“Monkey Puzzle don't mess with the funk. More latin than disco, more groove than meaning, these guys took a packed sun-baked Grooves crowd off their backsides and on to their feet. Good time music - funk with a capital FUN.”

Richard Stannard - Dorset Music Forum
