DEMON FUNKIES’ BACK ON THE MONKEY CD RELEASE AT THE SOILED DOVE UNDERGROUND, NOVEMBER 19

Dual release party with Dirty Backseat Lovers; members of Reno Divorce open

(DENVER, Colo., Nov. 2, 2011) — Westword Showcase-winning funk/rock band the Demon Funkies are proud to announce the release of their newest CD, Back on the Monkey, to be officially released on Saturday, November 19 at the Soiled Dove Underground in Denver, Colo.

Back on the Monkey is the third CD from the Demon Funkies, and delivers their unique balance of funk and rock, and more. It also delivers a first: an outlaw country track, “Make One Right,” featuring band leader Ryan Chrys on antique banjo and the Burning Sensation on antique piano. The rhythm tracks for the album were all cut live, capturing the loose-and-fun performance atmosphere for which the Demon Funkies are well known. The band’s edgy balance of guitars, keyboards and saxophone, coupled with high-octane energy, are all there. Back on the Monkey is perhaps the best representation to date of the Demon Funkies’ unique sound.

“Demon Funkies have always had a monkey on our back, we’ve faded and re-surged, crumbled and rebuilt during our time in Denver, but this album is proof that we are alive and well,” said Chrys. “We’ve turned the tables and now we’re the back on the monkey. We’ve spanked the monkey back into shape and we’re excited for our fans to hear the results.”

The CD release party on November 19 is a joint release party with Backseat Dirty Lovers. Reno Divorce members Brent Loveday and Tye Battistella will open the show, and there will be special Denver music scene guests appearing throughout the evening. It will take place at the Soiled Dove Underground, 7401 E. 1st Ave., Denver, Colo. on Saturday, November 19 at 8 p.m. The show is for ages 21+ and will be filmed. Tickets are now on sale online, at the Soiled Dove Underground box office or Twist & Shout Records.
