Yep! You read that right. Even more photos from the Grog Shop show! Thanks so much to both Reece and Bree for sending in their awesome photos from the show! Thanks ladies! And here’s what Bree had to say about the show too!

It was my first time seeing the 100 Monkeys live and I absolutely LOVED every single second of it. It was rather refreshing to see Jackson and the others as musicians and nothing more. I had an amazing time and I do plan on seeing them again.

The awesome Cindy sent in a few photos she took from the Grog Shop show in Cleveland Heights, OH. Check them out in the gallery. Thanks Cindy!

I’m from Little Rock but was lucky enough to be in Cleveland this week and got tickets to the show.  This was my second time to see the 100 Monkeys perform, and they were excellent both times.  The crowd on the other hand was a little bizzare!  Of course, they were enjoying the show but yelling things at the band.  I couldn’t make most of it out but did hear “Take off your pants,”  At one point, one lady got up on the stage, uninvited, to lead the crowd in Happy Birthday for her friend!  Jackson was gracious, joined in the singing, then jokingly pointed out the drawbacks of having too much to drink!

Here’s a little blurb Lisa wrote about the show. She’ll be sending in her review from it soon, so expect an updated edit with it here.

The show was awesome! It was my first 100 Monkeys show, and it was an amazing experience! The guys rocked, they brought their all. It was a fun wonderful experience, and I was able to chat with Marty & Ben Graupner and talk a little to Braden Bell too =)

EDIT: Here’s her full review! Thanks Lisa!

We luckily got to wait for things inside which was nice since it was SO COLD!!! The show was absolutely amazing! We got to be in the front! Tin Tin Can is a great band I’m so excited I was able to see them perform. Those guys really are awesome playing those instruments. They were phenomenal, check them out if you haven’t =) Chicago band and also one of the guys knew Spencer Bell and was in Stevedores too! So then The 100 Monkeys came on. Marty came on stage first and brought the guys up and they just totally rocked it!! Their passion for the music shows through, they put on a great performance with high energy! This was Uncle Larry’s hometown so there were some funny remarks about that, hehehe. Chicago improv was funny, Jackson is such a corndog though =P

It was great they did an encore because I didn’t want it to be over, but it was REALLY hot in there and the guys were sweating after the first song. So it ended and we hung around a little. I had made a Mix CD and I gave it to BenJ inside then when we went outside. Got to talk with Marty, Braden Bell and then talked and got a picture with BenG =) They are all such sweeties and nice guys. It was an awesome night!

And it was a FULL HOUSE! The guys had a big crowd to perform too which was great!!

And check out Demarice’s videos from the show as well!

Hard Rock Café Afternoon Show, the boys put on a badass little set and then did a signing.

My girls and I strolled down Las Vegas Blvd to the Hard Rock Café to check out the 100 Monkeys.  We walked in the front door that led to the store.  The nice man standing there asked if we were there to eat lunch.  We told him no, we were there to see a show.  He pointed to the elevators and told us “third floor”.  So we stepped into the elevator and pushed the ‘3’.  Away we went.

The doors opened to reveal two ladies sitting at bar tables with a stamp pad and a mac checking tickets and stamping “SLOTS” on our wrists.

The show was incredible. I got to meet the guys [again] before the
show and I gave them a “tour survival kit” which Jerad and Jackson were very excited about. As Jerad was setting it down next to him, Jackson grabbed the bag and looked up at me with wide eyes and in a very excited tone he said, “is that Duct Tape?!!” I said “YES! I knew you would love it.” And then he said it was awesome. Later that night at the show for the improv I suggested the title “Duct Tape”, which they did and I took a video of that… still have to upload it to youtube, but I will send you the link when I get that situated.

Also — Jackson used one of the lighters I included in the “tour survival kit” during Sleeping Giants. It was a great show — their energy was amazing, especially considering that Jackson and Jerad felt like ass.

The amazingly talented Scooby Lady attended the White Rabbit Show as well last night, and she’s kindly written this awesome report/review of the show and sent in some fantastic photos by her twin sister, Judith. Thank you both, ladies!

My day started around midnight of Jan.9, I was still finishing up a drawing that I’ve been working on since late December and did not stop until 3:00am. I forced myself to sleep and did not awake until 7:00am to finished what little was left of the drawing. I finally finished the whole thing around 10:00am. Thank God, I was able to finish it cause I was worried I wouldn’t have been able to give it to the 100 Monkeys. The drawing was a group shot, I would give you a pic of the reference image I used for the drawing. I’m sorry I couldn’t take a pic of the drawing itself, cause there wasn’t time to do so cause I had to get ready to leave for San Antonio. Anyway, during that time I also decided to give the drawing of Jackson I did for the Birthday project JRO threw for him as a gift to Jackson. The group shot drawing was for the whole band and I seriously prayed that I would be able to give it to them, that would have been a great reward for the hard work I did on them.

At around 1:00pm, my brother (Martin), sister-in-law (Kim), twin sister (Judith) and myself left for San Antonio, TX after making a stop at a Wal-mart for snacks for our trip. We arrived in San Antonio around 2:30pm (My brother drove fast when other cars weren’t around, making record time) and using the GPS system we went looking for the venue called “The White Rabbit”, the place the 100 Monkeys were to perform at, to see how the place look like. My sister Judith was not pleased, she thought the venue looked scary-looking covered in graffiti. She wanted to back out cause she was afraid bad people hang out there, I wouldn’t let her back out on me, plus our tickets were in her name and I couldn’t go without her. We had to be there together, no excuses- that was a rule the venue had for those who chose the “will Call” method.

Karina also sent in her review/write up from the show and you can read it below. Thanks Karina!

I went to the 100 Monkeys show on 1/5/10 in Dallas,Tx at a venue called The Loft. I was really excited to see them that night. I invited a couple of friends that have never heard them before see their first 100 Monkeys concert.

When we first got there we decided to go to the bar inside because it was really cold that night. When we entered we sat there for about 5 minutes when we heard a band warming up and we thought that it was the opening act. So we decided to sneak up the stairs to they and we were surprised when we saw the 100 Monkeys were the ones warming up. We ended up staying just on the stairs just listening to them practice and I really think that they knew we were there because at one point I saw Uncle Larry and Jerad look our way and they just smiled and kept on playing. We ended up leaving the stairs when a couple of twilight fans went up the stairs and we did not want to get caught when they did.

We ended up at the bar again and when we were there for about 10 minutes when the whole band came down and they ended up ordering their dinner from there. After all that about hour and a half later the band started to play. They started the concert with The Monkey Song by Spencer Bell. The other songs that they played were Wings on Fire, Junkie, Orson Brawl, Sleeping Giants, Grocery Store No More, Reaper, .38 Special, The Thank You song, one new one called Prayer. The improv song was about marshmallows. After all those cool songs were played the show ended. I just can’t wait until April 24th when they come back for the Spencer Bell Legacy concert!!

The awesome Iris has allowed us to post her photos from the Albuquerque show. Thanks Iris! Also, be sure to swing by her youtube channel to check out videos from the show too!

The lovely Jens has sent over her review/write-up of the show from last night. It’s definitely worth the read!

The guys were in Albuquerque last night at The Launchpad Night Club. The show was fantastic!!! Even my husband said they were good, and I had to drag him there kicking and screaming.

We arrived at Launchpad, and went upstairs to the balcony to enjoy the show. As I glance over to the stairs, I notice a guy that looks an awful lot like Ben J walking into a little room at the top of the stairs. (Probably because it was him, HA.) As I do a double take to make sure it is really him, Ben G. & Jackson come up the stairs. And then a few seconds later Jerad, and Uncle Larry show up, too. I thought this would be like any other show…you see the band perform and then go home, but they were right there among us…just as down to earth as could be.

Thanks so much to the awesome Elaine for sending in her photos of the 100 Monkeys show at Soma Sidestage in San Diego. Check out her awesome photos in the gallery!

The concert was great. All the guys were very energetic and charming. Ben G. and Jackson know how to work the crowd and there was a lot of love for Uncle Larry. They played a good set that everybody seemed to enjoy. Overall a great night!
