Any band that quotes FRANK HERBERT on it's CD cover is a band that ROCKWIRED wants to know, but DJ MONKEY is no mere band. It's more like a mad artist's rendering of a society coming together and coming apart at the same time. The world has gone to hell and they're shouting it from the fucking rooftops. ROCKWIRED has taken notice.
 If the music is hard to put a finger on, just take a look at these guys. Quite frankly, they all look like each of them stepped into the wrong band. This adventure in music making began with friends, JOEY ALKES and MICK MCMAINS getting together to write and produce pop songs. Along the way, eschewed benign pop lyrics for MCMAINS spoken word readings of ALKES' poetry, got JAMAL "LIL' TIP TOE" CRYER to add some rap, MITCH "COUNT DADDY-O" RAFAL on sax, IAN MCMAINS (MICK's son) on guitar and JEREMY "MR1" ROTH on turntables.
 Their CD ANOTHER EVOLUTION smashes the notion of pop music into a billion little pieces and puts all back together again mismatched pieces. It's unusual site, but an all-the-more intriguing listen. Expect nothing but an ever-winding ride. When it's over, don't be surprised if your looking at the world in a different way.
