There香蕉视频直播檚 nothing primitive about a rock band whose lead singer struts onto the stage wearing a bowler hat.

When you watch Kassidy Hritzuk sing into Dylan Losell香蕉视频直播檚 face, hardly catch Josh Evans eye from behind this hair as he whirls his drumstick the for the last song of the set and Ryan Zeleznik shreds the guitar like all six strings might snap simultaneously, you have Lucky Monkey.

The band is made up of five very different people who are bonded by their love for each other, rock-n-roll and a tattoo on Hritzuk香蕉视频直播檚 butt.

香蕉视频直播淚 thought of (the name) Lucky Monkey as a comment on us as humans, how lucky we are to live these awesome lives when we seemed to evolve out of nothing,香蕉视频直播 said Losell.

香蕉视频直播淭he beauty of our songs is that there is no (defined) sound. There is no generic defined genre. We are all pretty different and I think that helps portray us as people because we are very different as individuals,香蕉视频直播 said Evans.

So it香蕉视频直播檚 really organic,香蕉视频直播 said Hritzuk.

Although the band has serious goals about becoming full-time working musicians, they are not afraid to have fun.
