Artist History The Jaded Monkeys started with Mark and Jeff and Matt playing with drummer Sean in 1999. They played mostly covers then. When Mark, Jeff, and Sean gradauated (Matt being but a wee freshman)the band parted ways. But, who knew what would be in the works while the band was apart, as Jeff and Mark began vigorously forming songs together. Sure, they sucked at first, but you have to start somewhere. Then summer of 2001 Jeff and Mark called Matt and asked him to record drums for them as Matt had began drumming while the band was on hiatus. Sean wasn't asked to return due to some personal circumsatnces. They finished recording in August and we ready to play real shows! Their first real gig was a high school dance. They asked a friend to fill in on bass for the time being because during recording it was only the three originally. His name was Edmund. Edmund was bright and clever and the best part was that he knew how to play the bass! Although he didn't really own one (and still doesn't until this very day!)He was not too hot, and not too cold,he was just right. They eventually graduated to bigger and better shows. They worked especially hard to get into the battle of the bands in San Francisco's Great American Music Hall. Their hard work payed off when they learnd the day after that they had won 2nd place! WOW! This was really great for the band!They made some frineds which helped them get into the local scene and they still continue to grow. From shows at new venues to record label offers, The Jaded Moneys shall continue to grow as much as they can, rock out and most of all show the love.
