We are Green Monkey! Band Biography Green Monkey is a 4-piece Hip-Hop/Funk/Rock band formed in Belfast, 2013. Their sound developed from a mutual love of old school rap, big riffs, and tight grooves; the result being an approach to hip-hop fusion popularised by bands such as Public Enemy, Rage Against The Machine, Beastie Boys, Fun Lovin’ Criminals, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Live performances place emphasis on crowd interaction - achieved through ‘call and response’ style choruses and a balance between powerful, explosive riffs, and a solid groove to throw some shapes to. With clever, bold lyrics delivered with a rhythmic flow, Green Monkey display respect for the roots of hip-hop whilst aiming to engage a broader audience to the genre. Their first year as a band has seen a consistently positive reception and a following which is growing quickly. The aim for 2014 is to continue to develop an interactive and exciting live show, gain exposure to a wider audience, and to launch a debut record.
