Tampa Bay's Originators of Live Band Karaoke!

About Me

munkeyfist (noun.)
(An Indian sexual position, detailed in the kama sutra, consisiting of one male and four females entertwined [photo omitted due to its grpahic nature, but please, ask us about it, we'd be happy to demonstrate])
MunkeyFist (proper noun) (West Central Florida's number 1 high energy party rock and roll cover band.)
MunkeyFist in it's current incarnation was formed in the summer of 2002. Drummer Jason hooked up with renowned bass player Chris, and MunkeyFist was born. Always trying for the best possible fit, MunkeyFist has had the typical personnel changes associated with a band that has been playing live for as long as MunkeyFist. By providing a personal spin on a good mix of old and new cover songs, Munkeyfist packs the house and keeps the folks entertained & Dancing.
Flash Forward to 2005 - Keeping the same backbone of rhythm, Jason and Chris recruited the guitar work of Steve-O. By providing an updated, edgy, and personal spin on a good mix of 80's dance, classic rock and newer alternative cover songs, Munkeyfist packs the house and keeps you entertained. Whether it's Steve-O's wailing guitars, Jason's thumping beats, or Chris' ass kicking bass - MunkeyFist promises a good show! MunkeyFist prides itself on fun, taking the performance seriously, while not taking themselves too seriously, so it really is a good time to be had by all!
Come out to a show, and see why MunkeyFist is consistantly one of Tampa Bay's no. 1 party bands. Don't forget to get FISTED!
As the originators of RockStar Karaoke, or as some folks call it, Live Band Karaoke, MunkeyFist is always a trend setter. We were the first ones in Florida to do it, and the bands that can do it are very few in number. Come out and sing with the originators, not the imitators! What the hell is MunkeyFist's RockStar Karaoke ? Shoot, we'll even post your performance online for the world to see (for better or worse)...
