EDITOR’S PICK: 100 Monkeys at the Manship Theatre (Scene Magazine)

Come to see 100 monkeys tonight at the Manship Theatre in Baton Rouge and you’ll be disappointed. Instead of an army of feces-flinging primates, you’ll have settle for five multi-talented, multi-instrument-playing normal guys. But trust us: that is a great thing.

L.A.-based funk rock group 100 Monkeys betrays your expectations at every turn with sounds that surprise. Rather than an over-wrought sense of the pretentiously sublime, Jackson Rathbone and the boys bring fun back to music by using their obvious talents to channel The Door’s Jim Morrison, early 90s Sublime and a cornucopia of other cowbell-loving musicians. The result is a damn great show that’s already sold out. But keep your ears to the grindstone for other local shows coming soon.
