About Me

The Helper Monkeys are without a doubt, Too dumb to quit. You cant blame them they just dont know any better. With poor social skills, an unquenchable thirst for smokeables and a devoted attention to any and all music that sounds "wicked sick", these four lads had no other choice but to stick together and rock "ass". At the collective age of 27 The Helper Monkeys have done enough playing together to drive most musicians to a job selling string winders and guitar straps. However, they cant seem to play enough to satisfy their primordial urges. And with their rectal dessimatingly tight live performances even the steeliest eyed hardcore kid or the shoe-gazingest music nerd cannot deny kick ass tunes by four guys who just love to play.
