Brass Monkey

Welcome to the Brass Monkey ... Here at the Brass Monkey you can enjoy an intimate atmosphere with some of the big names in Australian and International music, including jazz, blues, roots, folk, pop and world music.
** THU 16/07: Anthony Hughes + Simon Kelly + The Terms + Tara Simmons
Anthony Hughes is a Sydney based singer song writer developing a sound softened to a more adult contemporary based feel, creating a style which resonates the acoustic roots of Australian music and the singer/songwriter tradition from a contemporary perspective.
** FRI 17/07: Ray Mann Three + Alisa Fedele
The Ray Mann Three are Australia’s troubadours of minimal Soul music. Three well-dressed cats: sitting, jamming, sketching with minimal strokes; inhabiting a world of their own but inviting you to visit – and maybe stay awhile…
Since the band’s sold-out debut album launch and subsequent 30-date national tour in Spring 2008, The Ray Mann Three’s dynamic live show has earned the band spots supporting international acts such as Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Jamie Lidell and Roy Ayers, and local acts ranging from Ash Grunwald and The Bamboos to Kate Miller-Heidke and Holly Throsby.
Featuring past and present members of Kid Confucius, The Ray Mann Three is celebrating the release of its debut album, “The Ray Mann Three”: recorded in three days, produced by Tony Buchen, the album blends soul, jazz and hip-hop with timeless songwriting that calls to mind D’Angelo, Al Green, The Beatles and The Roots, and perfectly captures the band’s warm, intimate sound. “Urban, neo-soul, a dash of funk, lots of spunk with a truly fresh spirit… The Ray Mann Three have the ability to propel you into a higher sphere allowing your soul and intellect to waltz into the lofty clouds of the unique.” – Drum Media
SAT 18/07: Steve Edmonds Hendrix and Heroes Tribute
Hendrix and Heroes is the latest in dynamic concept entertainment. A two part showcase of the most popular guitar driven music of the 70’s - for those of us who can remember them.
Set 1: HENDRIX
A surreal dedication to the incredible musical and visual imagery of Jimi Hendrix. (Arguably the greatest guitarist of all time), featuring a selection of his most popular songs. A psychedelic flash back to Monterey Pop & without doubt the closest representation of Jimi in the country, guaranteed to blow your mind! Set 2: HEROES
An all star salute to the greatest rock bands of the 70’s. Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Status Quo, Thin Lizzy, AC-DC, Lynrd Skynrd, The Doors and more. The rocking hits of the greatest rock bands of all time… This set is guaranteed to fill the dance floor.
** SUN 19/07: The Basics + The Boat People + Simon Kelly
2009 already promises to be a huge year for the band. To kick things off, their new single With This Ship released on Tuesday 24 February and is the first song from their ominously titled album …. (click photo for more info) Keep Your Friends Close
In April, The Basics will play some very special shows taking audiences on intimate and acoustic journeys featuring never before seen photos, videos and many unseen rarities exclusive to the tour. Tickets will be limited, so don’t miss out on The Basics showcasing their exclusive offerings from Keep Your Friends Close! With This Ship heralds a significant new direction for The Basics. While retaining the band’s trademark three-part harmonies, they are forging a bold path towards an altogether unexplored musical landscape. With This Ship is something of a musical map, charting the often unpredictable and tumultuous ocean of relationships. It illustrates the hope-filled struggle of fighting against the tide of personal history, but also the hopelessness sometimes encountered when trying to mend rifts in relationships ravaged by hurt and time.
But fear not. The Basics’ lush vocal harmonies will lift you over the swirling symphony of stormy guitars and lay you softly on the shore.
