If you haven't seen 100 Monkeys in Concert yet, you absolutely must.

They are talented, energetic, fun and quirky. They have so many great new songs and their live shows are never a disappointment.

Here is my good friend Amy with the band last May.

I've been lucky enough to see them live plenty of times and I can't recommend them highly enough, just fantastic live shows!!
