Monkey Man - new Kicksville track

howdy y'all -
 
Here's this week's release: http://kicksville.bandcamp.com/track/monkey-man
 
Our cover of the classic Toots And The Maytals song (with a big nod to The Specials' version) has been in our live show for years, so we figured it was about time we did a studio version.... It's totally tongue-in-cheek, and the recording is pretty much live in the studio - this isn't the kind of song to nit-pick fiddly little details and overdub to death Same thing with the mix, too...I tried to keep the vibe we get when we play it live. Here's a video from an old production rehearsal of us playing the tune if you're curious: http://youtu.be/DCwAX9dR5x4
 
cheers!

    That was fun!  And yeah, nice playing...   The bass rocks.  
     
    Overall it reminds me a little of Todd Rundgren.

    Thanks, guys! Yeah, I usually stick to the groove and keep the bass hysterics to a minimum, but once in a while, I gotta sneak something in....
