100 Monkeys

100 Monkeys are extremely talented and innovative, and each show is like seeing them for the first time. Their songs are amazingly catchy, funny, deep, ironic..... the song-writing is very original. As for The Stone Pony, it's an awesome venue, with reasonably-priced drinks, 2 stages: one inside and one outside. When the inside band finishes their set, the outside stage automatically picks up, and vice-versa--so you never have to wait for live music! If you're a smoker, it was very smoker-friendly by the outside stage...you just need to walk through a doorway, where you can still see the inside stage also! They have a small kitchen with bar food, which was fantastic. We saw many different acts that night, and all of them brought something different--it was a perfect night!

Talk about a great night out! The 100 Monkeys concert at the Anaheim House of Blues was simply a treat. Whether you've heard their music before or not, the band is great to watch just for their pure enjoyment of their work. But that's not all - their music's great, too! The opening three bands needed more work and polish to be on par with 100 Monkeys. Seemed as if they couldn't hear themselves, which might have been their goal. For each of the three, lead singers were flat and unimaginative - the kiss of death for an opener. When the star attraction began to play, leading with Mr. Orson Brawl, the room became electric. It's obvious the band loves to perform and really puts on a great show. I've been to my share of concerts, and I can say without hesitation that 100 Monkeys makes you feel as if it's a personal, intimate visit from musicians who love their music. I recommend them full heartedly.

I saw my first 100 Monkeys show and it was hands down the best show I've ever been to! Now I'm waiting (im)patiently for them to come back to St. Louis!

This band never ceases to amaze me!!! Hands down Best band I have ever come across. The guys in the band are AMAZING people. Their music is so funky and it makes you feel all happy and like dancing! I will never forgot 05.21.11 as long as i live. HANDS DOWN, BEST BAND EVER!

I though the energy all bands showed was amazing. I really like Sabrosa Purr there music realy rocked. The Paul McDonald filled the time while 100 monkeys took a break that was cool. Then the monkeys returned to the stage and them and McDonald improved at least a 5 minute song. Overall amazing show for the price of the tickets. I would go see them again.

What a fantastic show. I loved every second of it.

Went with a friend who is an avid 100 Monkeys fan. Overall the show was high energy and a lot of fun but I have to say the band I enjoyed the most was the opening band Toy Bombs. The El Ray always has great sound it's a fun venue to see shows.

I seriously loved each performance from everyone that played. Toy Bombs and Sabrosa were amazing at getting the crowd hyped up, and of course the 100 Monkeys were so enthusiastic and theatrical. The venue was great and they sounded amazing. Paul McDonald was a great surprise, and Nikki Reed and Ashley Greene were there as well....So sweet!

I went to go see 100 Monkeys at the El Ray with my niece who loves them. But clearly the band to see was SABROSA PURR ,the middle band to play. They really rocked it!!! 1.Great sound 2.Fantastic energy 3.And a old school stage presence Any one with half a mind will give this band a chance. Yeah Purr

I would give this event 5 stars but Paul McDonald put a damper on my night. I just don't like that man. Other than that Idol reject, the concert was amazing and the bartenders were A++++ with the booze. El Rey definitely takes the cake among L.A. music venues. Love it there!

An evening with 100 Monkeys is guranteed to always be an entertaining one. They have a great energy and a songbook that plays better live than on the recordings. Every member of the band plays multiple instruments and takes turn singing lead vocals. They also are great with audience interaction and connecting with the audience. The only issue with the 5/21 performance was with current season 10 American Idol Top 10 finalist Paul McDonald's performance while the Monkeys too a break. McDonald has little stage presence and does not connect with an audience. He made no eye contact with anyone other than his bandmate. When the Monkeys returned to the stage for a jam session with him, Jackson Rathbone (most likely the reason McDonald got this gig is because he is dating Rathbone's Twilight Saga cast member, Nikki Reed), showed him up with his energy and audience interaction. While Rathbone played the tambourine and got the crowd going at the edge of stage, McDonald half heartedly hit a tambourine while watching Rathbone from halfway upstage.

I loved the venue, I got a meet and greet with the band and a pizza party. It was amazing hanging out with them before the show. Then they put on an amazing show. Can't wait to see them again.

The show was amazing as usual!! 100 Monkeys never fail to put a smile on my face that lasts for days after the show! Cant wait to see them again...and again!

Always fun, never a dull moment with this band. From old favorites like Junkie & Orson Brawl to new tunes and of course, the improv- "Magic Hands," 100 Monkeys delivers every set with unmatched energy.

I am soo excited, this will be my first 100 Monkey show. Been looking forward to this forever and was glad to see them here in INDY, thought i was going to have to travel to see them this summer.

Since the first time I youtubed 'Ugly Girl' I have been a die hard fan! They are coming to the east coast and I cannot contain myself! The music is amazing, full of variety and it's different then all the mundane on the radio now! My ipod stay on 100 Monkey Shuffle!

They are a great band! Guitars, drums, flute, trumpet, harmonica...the list goes on and on! And I do love the smaller venue to see these musicians play.

I'll make this short. The show was amazing! 100 Monkeys have amazing stage presence, the band members constantly switch around the instruments they play. Not to be missed!!

I have never been to a bad 100 Monkey's show, I just don't think it is possible for them to play bad! 100 Monkey's live music is unforgettable, these hotties know how to put on a show and please the crowd! Although I very much enjoyed the opening bands, I wish I didn't have to stand for 5 hours waiting for the 100 Monkeys to go on. My only complaint is that there are never enough 100 Monkey concerts close to home(anywhere in Cali or surrounding states) I would drive for hours to see a 100 Monkey concert! This latest show at the Roxy was no different, these "monkey's" are talented, each able to play more then one instrument, and each able to sing; Uncle sang for the first time proving that the 100 Monkey's is more then the average band. They played for 2 hours and kept up the energy the whole time! I can't wait for the next show they have, I miss them already!

Loved it, had so much fun. It was a long night considering we were there from 6:30 till 2 in the morning. But it was worth it and a good way to celebrate my birthday and I got to meet the band.

The talent in these 5 guys is unreal. They each play every instrument, and switch often. The music is eclectic, and original. They are respectful, SUPER NICE guys who truly appreciate their audience and give 110% whether there are 30 in the audience or 300. They truly love what they do, and make the best of EVERY situation, whether small audience, loss of power, broken instrument, whatever. They just go with the flow. The Improv is the BEST part...Jackson is extremely talented to be able to come up with a complete song from a suggestion that fast. It truly feels like they are just jammin' for themselves and having a good time, and we get to be a fly on the wall. After 100's of concerts, this was my absolute favorite. I would travel long distances to see them again, they're that good.

I would not have seen these guys 42 times if they weren't some of the most talented and dedicated men that I have ever come across. I have seen over 200 musical acts live and 100 Monkeys takes the cake as my favorite artist to see live - EVER. They interact with the crowd, tell jokes on stage while tuning up, they switch instruments and do an improv at every single show where they make up a song on the spot with help from the audience. They're good. Take my word for it. And if you ever have the chance to see them live, I strongly recommend that you do... you won't regret it.

i brought my exchange student and her sister -- both from sweden - to the concert at the HOB in NOLA and we all loved it! i think i was the oldest person there, but i was totally rocking out with the band. the music was fabulous!

5 talented artists that each can play every instrument, and switch constantly. The set list is different every night, so it's never the same show as with big arena bands! The songs range from punk to country, funk to rock, blues, and anything else you can think of. And they do an excellent job on each song, The best part of their show is they take suggestions from the audience every night, and make up an improv on the spot.....now that's talent.

This concert was definitely one of the best of it's sort that I have been to. 100 Monkeys have improved their act over time, of course, they were amazing to begin with so that tells you where they are now, above and beyond amazing. Everyone needs to see them sometime to meet some of the nicest guys out there.

This was a great show. All of the opening acts were really great and 100 Monkeys are so talented!

Amazing show as always. The opening act, Not A Planet, was a great addition to the show which included The Kissing Club, Bleeding Horse Express and of course 100 Monkey.

This is the second time i've seen 100 Monkeys at the Beaumont Club. It was an amazing show and I was thrilled to be back. These guys bring so much energy and talent to a stage. You should never miss a performance if you are anywhere within driving distance of them.

I have been to a few 100 Monkeys shows, and as usual, they rocked. They are an amazing, wonderfully talented and energetic band who never fail to deliver a good time. The Kissing Club, one of their opening bands, is also one of my favorites and I was glad to see them as well. The only real issue I had with this event was that I went to get water from the bar, and was told they had to take the lids off the bottles. Since I had to worry about spilling it anyway, I opted for the free cup. Then when I went to take the water back to my spot, was told I couldn't take the cups down on the floor. I should have been told that when given the cup in the first place. The guy refused to let me take my water, (though I saw other people on the floor with cups of water...) I find it very annoying that they take the lids off the bottles and keep them. You would think that the house would prefer people to keep their lids so there is less chance of spillage, thereby preventing possible falls from liquid in the floor.

100 Monkeys gave an outstanding performance. They are fun, talented, interactive and attentive to their fans. My only complaint is I would have liked fewer bands before the show and more monkeys!

This was undoubtedly the BEST concert I have ever been to. Great energy, fun filling every corner of the room, and music to live your life by.

100 Monkeys at the Pageant was literally the best $62.50 I have EVER spent! The staff were incredibly nice and the show was just fantastic! The band played hard to make sure we all got what we deserved for our money and I would go to see them again in a heartbeat. I'm so glad I went. It was also nice that they played older songs as well as songs from Liquid Zoo.

Had a great time. VIP tickets were sooo worth it. We got in early for a soundcheck party and there were about 10 people total for it and then we got pictures with the band before they let everyone else in. The band is awesome and they take care of their fans.

Although the turn out for the venue was small, all of the bands put on an amazing show. If you get the chance to see any of them: The Blind Eyes, The Kissing Club, Bleeding Horse Express or 100 Monkey's, I recommend you do so. They all put on a great live performance.

I like their music, but was worried about my friends and husbands reactions to the crowd and bands..... The bands were awesome!!! Both friends and my hubby really enjoyed themselves!!! I was releived the crowd was not over run by screaming little girls!!!

100 Monkeys gave it their all and performed every minute of the 90 that were slated for their performance. They played to the audience and made the evening truly enjoyable. I'd definitely see them again if they ever come back to my area.

When I heard that 100 Monkeys was coming to Houston I really wanted to get tickets. I flirted with the idea of VIP tickets for quite a while before I just went ahead and got them. BEST DECISION EVER! The VIP tickets are the way to go. I can't believe what all we got for the price. I would have paid double to have that VIP experience. The guy's are so in touch with their fans and have such a great stage presence. Freaking amazing! They had 3 opening acts that were great. Two of the opening acts were out chatting with fans after the concert was over - which was really cool. I bought an autographed cd from one of the guy's from Bleeding Horse Express. I would have really liked to meet the guy from Electric Attitude, but they weren't out meeting people.

Awesome as always. very nice that they took time out after the concert to meet people. Seen them 3 times and this was by far the best conecert. It is a great place so it makes concerts even better

The guys were amazing, the bands were amazing! Honestly the most fun I've had in a concert in a long time! I would recommend this band to anyone of my friends, and tell them to be sure to bring their dancing shoes!

100 monkeys was an amazing live show. I would go see them as many times as they can come to the New Orleans area.

100 Monkeys has several very talented musicians. I was fascinated to watch them interchange positions. The music was great and the show was excellent. I was one of the older members of the audience. Others my age group are just missing out.

100 Monkeys was amazing! Their energy was contagious! I think there were too many warm up bands, but it was definitely worth the wait.

It was an absolutely AMAZING show!!! This is the 3rd time I've seen them and will definitely be going back for more when they're in town next. Their music comes alive when they do on stage. They're very interactive w/ the crowd and love playing things up. Every concert they do things thing called "Make Up a Song". The crowd shouts out an idea for a song and Jackson Rathbone makes up the lyrics while the music is playing. The great part about that is that the lyrics aren't cheezy... they're actually quite good. If you have never seen them or even heard of them... I highly recommend them! :)

The concert was amazing! They really know how to put on an entertaining show! Frontman Jackson Rathbone is amazing as what he does!!

Best show I've seen in a long time! Awesome, amazing

This was my first 100 Monkeys concert and to stay blown away just isn't enough. The energy this group performs with is simply unseen!! You have to experience it first hand to truly appreciate the talent as well. I've never seen a band switch back and forth between instruments, but the 100 Monkeys does that and does that well. I am a 100th Monkey for life!!

This was the most fun I've had at a concert in a very long time! The show was so much fun and the energy was great. I would definitely see them again (and again, and again) and would recommend them to anyone who loves live music and a kick ass show! The only "complaint" that I had about the venue is that it was FREEZING COLD inside and I wish I had brought a sweatshirt or something. It was so cold that it was actually uncomfortable. :(

100 Monkeys are amazing. They are a very talented group of people and their show was awesome. One of the best I have seen. Can't wait to see them again!

The show was amazing. The opening acts rocked and then 100 Monkeys came out and stole the show. They were, as always, full of energy and played as though they were playing to a sold-out venue and not just the moderate amount of people that filled Revolution Live. I cannot wait for them to come back this way. I wouldn't miss them for the world. Thank you for a great night!

Great venue... nice location. Sound & lighting were great.

I got the VIM (very important monkey) which included the sound check. They sang three songs to a group of 15 of us. I got an autograph picture, t-shirt, and take a picture with the group. At the end of the concert, was another chance to get an autograph and to talk to each member of the group. I bought alot of items from the merchandise table. I wish I would of known about the meet and greet session. I would of loved to have participated in that also.

Entertaining, High Energy, Gotta See Them Again!!!

As always the Monkeys performed a stellar performance. Ben G was lively as always and Jackson charmed the crowd with his deep drawl.

It was an amazing concert. Almost all the band were great. I will go and see 100 Monkeys again.

Show was great! Was very excited about the Meet and Greet after the show!

The band put on an awesome show. I loved the music and the high engery that they put into their concerts. They are also some very nice & friendly guys if you get to meet them. Meeting Jackson Rathbone after the concert was great. I would recommend that you go see their show. I would love to go again.

We had three bands performing before 100 Monkeys took the stage. That atmosphere was unbelievable! Total positive energy, with a kick of zen mixed in. When 100 Monkeys took the stage, I had never seen any live performance such as theirs. Unique in the way the interact with audience as a whole and as individuals. The energy they convey on stage is contagious and leaves you wanting more and more. After the show, they stay to sign autographs and talk to the fans. They are real and unaffected by their success.

It was a incredible experience, Super enegry on stage, I like it because it was small and intimate and i got to meet the band's. It was the best concert.

This was the best night of my life. Met some amazing people and made some new friends. The music was awesome and so much fun! Very catchy! Jackson is definitely a lot hotter in person. Lol. They make an effort to thank the fans after the show and make sure you thank each other which is really nice and cute. There is a sense of camaraderie that was present throughout the whole show, from the fans and the band. They definitely made you feel welcome. The show is supposed to be all ages but there is some cursing in some of their songs. Love the audience participation and that they create an improv song from audience suggestions. They do accept gifts on stage it's just getting them there that's the problem. Just don't go to get totally drunk please or you won't really appreciate it. It did run a little long because there were 3 openers but overall it was worth it and I can't wait to see them again! Favorite song is The Sound.

the show was amazing i had so much fun cant wait till they came back 2 the area

I was not disappointed when I left the show! My friends and I have been fans of this band before we realized that Jackson Rathbone from Twilight was in the band. They interact with the crowd on and off the stage, even signing autographs after the show and having conversations with fans before the show, while they were hanging outside the venue having cigarettes or just enjoying the nice weather. And with general admission we got to pick where we were and didn't have to use the zoom function on our cameras unless we were taking video and the band was on the opposite side of the stage.

Probably the best show I have ever seen. So much energy. The Monkeys were so much fun. Improv was awsome. I will most definatly see them again. My friend who came with me had never even heard them and she can't wait foe them to come back and mentioned road tripping to see them :)

100 Monkeys were incredible. They are all so talented, and it was so refreshing to see a band up there who is really passionate about performing. The music was great,, the openers were great, the guys were great... It was the best concert I've ever been to! My 48 year old dad, who I made come with me to the show, really enjoyed it too. And the guys stayed after to do a signing, and meeting them was amazing! They are really some of the most genuinely nice and talented guys I've seen.

I started following this band because the lead singer is a character in a series of movies that I like. After finding out that they had a lot of music out, I started to do some research. The music is great. A little pop, some rock, a few slow jams...you can't go wrong. There was so much for just anyone to enjoy.

This was my first time ever seeing 100 Monkeys after waiting ages to get the chance to see them. The 3 1/2 hour drive in 90 degree heat without A/C was SOOO worth it! These guys put on such an entertaining and energetic show. It was impossible not to dance and sing along; the fun they were having on stage was absolutely contagious. I can't wait to see these guys again!!!

Very nice place for a concert, LOVE the intimacy of the House of Blues.

100 Monkeys put on an amazing show on Saturday night. Not only did they have a great line up, but they had special guest Paul Mcdonald from american idol, who they also did a song with that came together great! They also had Nikki Reed and Ashley Greene at the show which makes it so much more exciting for anyone who love the twilight films.. all in all, 100 monkeys always put on a exciting show from the dancing to the instrument switch up. I would recommend to anyone to see one of their performances.

I flew down from seattle just to see this show. I have seen 100 Monkeys 6 times in the last year & they never cease to amaze. No two shows have been the same, yet they have each been just as awe inspiring as the others. Not only do I recommend them to my friends, but I also sing their praises to perfect strangers. The energy in their performances is intoxicating. Each member of the band takes turns singing and playing each instrument. The eclectic mix of songs keeps everyone moving and completely captivated. See this band now while the venues are still somewhat intimate or you'll regret it!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I went to my first Monkeys concert. I knew that a lot of girls were going to be there for Jackson, which happened, but I had so much fun listening to the GROUP of guys that played a fantastic show. It was so cool how they would switch instruments for nearly every song. I love how relaxing and mellow the music is. I recommend everyone go see these guys. I can't believe they haven't hit it big yet, they are super talented!

If you can only afford to see one live show this summer this is your band!!! 100 Monkeys are infectious, carefree and energetic with a presence like no other band. They move around the stage more than Mick Jagger!!! The music is great in the car but FANTASTIC live. How many bands out there create a new song at every show? None that I ve ever heard of\u2026In fact one of my favorite songs is the Improve song from there DC show last year Little Black Book . This band has a song for everyone and good luck finding a genre to put them in. This is why we call them Funk Rock . They ve got a funky groove to their beat with lyrics you can sing along to. Trust me I was just a fan until I went to a live show\u2026now I m a Monkey Junkie!!! I've been to 4 more shows since DC with 3 more planned for the 2011 summer tour promoting there 2nd studio album. How many people have driven 8hrs to see a band then sleep in a tent....I have :-)

sound wasn't great at the venue, you couldn't really hear the vocals & keyboards, etc. and WAY too loud on top of it. also, it sucked that we couldn't be readmitted after we came in and they didn't have any food. would have been nice to know that ahead of time, since we were planning on running out, grabbing a quick bite and then coming back. instead we just had to get what we could from a junk food filled vending machine and otherwise go hungry. Otherwise, I love 100 Monkeys- i drove from MN to see them. I also loved Not A Planet, the local band that opened.

Incredibly underrated and surely worthy of the LG Ones to Watch title, 100 Monkeys brought it to Anaheim and presented an incredible show. House of Blues establishments seem to be just the venue to catch these guys in their multi-faceted glory, ranging from rhythmic blues, funk rock, seamlessly segueing to fun and upbeat jams that get everyone in the house dancing and singing along. Of the 30+ shows I have seen of this little band... they are truly not an act to miss, long-time fan or first-timer! This show in particular was beyond perfection and I hope all first-timers come back for more, just as well as 100 Monkeys down to Anaheim!

Incredibly underrated and surely worthy of the LG Ones to Watch title, 100 Monkeys ventured down to San Diego and presented an incredible show. House of Blues establishments seem to be just the venue to catch these guys in their multi-faceted glory, ranging from rhythmic blues, funk rock, seamlessly segueing to fun and upbeat jams that get everyone in the house dancing and singing along. Surely not an act to miss, long-time fan or first-timer!

All their best songs jam packed into one kick ass show! The sound was great, the lighting was great. It was an awesome show. The opening acts were really great too!

I had a blast. My only complaint is that it ended. I wanted them to play all night! They played a lot of upbeat songs that kept the crowd jumping. A few slow ones to calm down. It was great to see a packed house and the crowd almost sang louder than the band! It was awesome!

Great Venue. Lots of energy and enthusiastic fans.

100 Monkeys NEVER disappoint! What a great band and super talented guys! Even if you don't know their music you will be 100% entertained! Meet & Greet: What a joke - Fan Club NOT EVEN COMMUNICATING WITH ME TO SAY WHERE AND WHEN TO MEET!! Just by chance I ran into the girl orgainizing the Meet & Greet (I'm saying that lightly) and asked what the situation was... she says, "you have 10 minutes to get wrist band, tickets scanned and in the area where you can meet the band." Wow! She did agree that she had seen my emails but was to busy to reply. I think they need to replace her.

I went to see 100 Monkeys because of Jackson Rathbone's Twilight Saga connection. I will go again because this amazing band put on a wonderful display of musical prowess, energy and sense of fun. Doesn't hurt that they're all easy on the eyes too....

SO much fun! As usual 100 Monkeys were awesome and put on a great show! Hope they keep coming back to Seattle!

I thought they would be good, but I didn't know they would be great. Great sound, looked good, raucous and awesome.

I have never heard any of their music but because I am a huge fan of Jackson Rathbone I came out to see his band and was pleasantly surprised as to how much they rock and what a great show they put on for us. Check them out!!

Awesome show, the band never disappoints! Took my cousin to her first show and she's hooked now too!

This band is so much fun to see live. Super energic, constant switch up on instruments, improv song every night..What more could you ask for? They are a band that really care about their fans, and every show is like one big party. I've seen them twice and can't wait for more shows. Trust me, after one show you will be hooked!

100 Monkeys was amazing!! They have a unique sound like no other, lots of energy on stage. They have fun on stage and it shows in the performance.
