THE GORILLA GUNMEN – FEED THE MONKEY

Founded in 2010 The Gorilla Gunmen from cologne soon became a constant of the local scene. They serve their very own version of the fifties-sound with a lot of charm and verve ever since. The variation of styles is widely spread. The spectrum varies from classic rockabilly to swing, country, hard rocking classic rock and roll and even a little bit of punk. The ingredients – Gretsch-guitar, Double-bass and Slap-Echo – are well known but the boys manage it easily and nearly en passant to get some new facets out of the old sounds. In 2011 the first record was released – for the proper style of course a 7″ vinyl single. It was followed by the longplayer “Feed the monkey” that contains 14 originals and 2 cover-versions.
