About Me
THE GREASE MONKEYS ARE OFFICIALLY ON-HIATUS DUE TO CREATIVE DIFFERENCES...GOOD LOOKIN OUT TO EVERYONE THAT SUPPORTED US AND UNDERSTANDS WHY WE HAD TO DO THIS MUSIC, BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE MUSIC, IT WAS ABOUT SURVIVAL!!!!!!HOPEFULLY, WHEN THE TIMES ARE BETTER, WE WILL RETURN TO GIVE THIS ANOTHER SHOT, BUT FOR NOW, IT’S BEEN A GREAT COUPLE OF YEARS, AND ALOT OF THINGS WERE LEARNED. PLEASE LOOK OUT FOR MEKZ ONE, WHO WILL CONTINUE WITH HIS MUSIC CAREER AS A SOLO ARTIST AND PRODUCER.AGAIN, THANX TO THE FRIENDS, FAM, AND FANS THAT LOVE THE MONKEYS!!!Living in the hood is depressing. Most of the time there is no food, no money, nothing. Just dreams. Though a lot of people living in North Philadelphia look at dreams as a waste of time, two brothers passionately chased them, vowing to bring their hopes of "something better" to fruition. Make something out of nothing. By the laws of Alchemy, this seemed impossible.Grease Monkeys were created from the negativity that surrounded brothers Drunken Monkey King (better known as Kid Icarus), and Sars Simian (better known as Mekz One). "We produce music to escape our problems, but also to confront alot of the bullshit the average hoodcat faces living in the hood," states Mekz One, " both my brother and I have balance between us, so we use that to mold the sound."Using spaced-out lyricism with a twist of reality, psychodelic saturday-morning funk (courtesy of Mekz One), and a revolutionary attitude that you can only expect from proud, young latin men living under the harsh conditions of inner-city life, The Grease Monkeys set out to formulate an original sound, style, and movement.Opening for underground hip-hop powerhouses Killah Priest, Wize Intelligent, Godhead The General, Pumpkinhead and Cee Knowledge, Now set to release their debut, " On The Origin Of Species..." on Philly Underground staple THORTAKEOVER, The Grease Monkeys are ready to convince the world what everyone thought was a dream,
is now reality. Wake UP!!!!
