Demon Funkies – Back on the Monkey [EP]
by Jeannie Straub
Demon Funkies are a well-loved and much-followed local band that have been around since 2003 playing high-energy party music in every corner of the state as well as Wyoming and Montana. In that time, they have released two full-length albums and won a Westword Music Showcase Award in 2009 for “Best Funk Band.” (They were also nominated Westword’s “Best Funk Band” in 2010 and 2011.)
Demon Funkies released Back on the Monkey Nov. 19 at the Soiled Dove. This is a six-song EP of original tunes that shows how they earn the love and affection of their fans. It is not only upbeat and fun, but also it offers music lovers some depth that is hard to come by these days. Rock / Funk / Punk are covered but you also feel a little slice of love for the County genre coming through. Ryan Chrys on guitars and vocals is a standout.
Band members: Ryan Chrys (guitars, vocals); Paul “Prom King” Lanier (bass, vocals); Chris Chance / Chris Murphy (drums); Pete Lamborne / Mike Chiesa (saxophone); Burning Sensation (keys, organ, tables).
