Monkey Butler

With their root base placed under an array of influences including Credence Clearwater Revival, Foundations of Wayne, as well as the Reverend Horton Heat, Monkey Butler would turn into a Champaign-Urbana mainstay of house parties and college bars upon their formation in September of 2000. Using a audio that additionally includes a melodic hint of guitar-driven pop/rock and roll, the lineup of Trevor Lutz (vocalist), Steve Carmody (electric guitar), Matt Dark (electric guitar), Rory Grennan (bass), and Yasufumi Sono (drums) would ultimately self-release their debut EP, …THE LIFE SPAN and Moments of Langdon Alger, in 2001.
