100 Monkeys say farewell to Vancouver
We’ve been spoiled here in Vancouver these past two months. 100 Monkeys, consisting of Jackson Rathbone, Ben Graupner, Jerad Anderson (sporting a brand new mohawk), Ben Johnson, and Uncle Larry, played a farewell show for Vancouver on Oct 25th, their 4th show here in the past 2 months. And what a farewell it was!
Held at the Venue, a newly revamped nightclub, energy and anticipation were high. Local band Bleeding Hearts Express started the evening, playing a rousing set that mixed rock,blues, and big band. And then, finally, it was MONKEY TIME!
The band bounded onto the stage as the LED screen behind them flashed 100 Monkeys, and the crowd went wild, cheers turning into laughter as Uncle Larry was escorted onto stage in a full length mink coat by 2 scantily clad women. The boys took their places and started off with a resounding rendition of “Orson Brawl”. One of the unique things about 100 Monkeys is that each member takes turns on every instrument, switching it up on every song.
