Monkey Puzzle are made out of seven good friends who are musicians and songwriters, all with masses of performing and recording experience all around the UK. Along with life's rollercoaster in general, Monkey Puzzle are inspired by a diverse musical bunch including artists like Maceo Parker, Herbie Hancock, Frank Zappa, Cinematic Orchestra, Fela Kuti, Nu Yorican Soul and Quantic Soul Orchestra.
Formed in January over a winter pint earlier this year, they now have a great following of young Monkeys in the making.. They started off playing free gigs in local bars, but soon progressed to regular shows and events at venues all around the South of the UK, including headlining at the nationally acclaimed
(and somewhat wet) Bournemouth Air Festival!
