Monkey puzzle

Up next were RedD Monkey - or as they were called for this occasion, Box Monkey. As far as I can tell from their possibly fictionalized biography, they started in Kelowna, moved to Toronto and now call the Soo home. They bill themselves as an alt-punk cello trio, and mention D&D, so I'm also going to say they are nerds. I thought they sounded pretty decent, but it did take me a few tunes to warm to them.

Steve Mozarowski on the microphone. Are alt-punk combos allowed to rap? I'm sure there's a law against it.



Brother Pete on the cello.



Hip hop cello action!



Drummer Joe Bumbacco likes the double-kick.



And now for some actual guitar.



Harrumph, the way kids play these days ...



Assorted monkeying about.



Bonus Joe!



The whole lot from the second floor.



Stringy action!



More Pete, sans flash.



Extra monkeying about!



More hitting!



Pete sings!



The whole lot!



Brotherly action!



Pete sings some more!



Shouty Steve!



Starting and ending with a rap song is apparently their thing.



That was a bit odd.
