MONKEYSHORTS - Day View Owl Bum CD Cat# KSP001 IDC Cat #0563

The debut album from eclectic folk-punk band MONKEYSHORTS. Recorded in Seattle at the world-famous birthplace of grunge London Bridge Studio. Co-produced by Justin Davis (Queensrÿche, Candlebox) – Mastered by Geoff Ott (Death Cab for Cutie, Alice in Chains). This however is not a grunge rock record, though Queensrÿche’s drums were used in the recording process. Day View Owl Bum is more like a roller-coaster ride through musical genres with fun, sometimes raunchy, but always humorous lyrics on such topics as traveling, romance, animals, your usual fare.

Day View Owl Bum features a bluegrassy cover of Nine Inch Nails “Closer” complete Check out more from with tin whistle solo. The biggest crowd-pleaser on the record is the punk-pop ditty MONKEYSHORTS @ “Platypus” owning to the fact that there’s an odd and somewhat dangerous beast monkeyshorts.com lurking inside all of us. Day View Owl Bum starts out with “Tickle My Toes” featuring Tamara Power-Drutis (Phinney Estate). This song makes people laugh, cry, cum. True story. We even had to leave the room to give her some privacy. Must be the Track Listing strings. Other favorites are “How’s Your Day?”, “Dinky”, “Biggest Fan” and the rest of the album.
