Year 2010 was really intensive for Monkey 3 : after having played at the famous Roadburn Festival 2010 (Holland) and the Hellfest (France), the band started with the recording of their fourth album : « Beyond the black sky ».
The quartet decided to work with a young and talented producer : Johann Meyer.
The result of this collaboration is an album which will certainly become a classic and will be important in the career of the band.
Monkey 3 found their own sound and their own way : the best combination between modern and vintage vibes.
An instrumental album which drives you through a disturbing and mysterious dream.
Monkey 3 is wellknown for their amazing live performances and they will prove it next April on their european tour.

The band was created in 2001 and was already taking this stoner-rock and psyché vibe, which can remind you Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Mono or Pelican. With their first self-intituled album, which was released in 2003, Monkey3 got great reactions and reviews all over Europe, putting them as one of the best newcomer in this musical stoner field. Their second album, «39 Laps», which cames out in 2007, contains a magistral cover from one of the biggest cinema classic «Once Upon A Time In The West», from the Master Ennio Morricone. The third album : «Undercover» is an EP featuring covers (Archive, Kiss, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple) which has an outstanding character and contains two songs with two awesome singers: the Legend himself, John Garcia (Kyuss, Hermano) and Tony Jelencovich (Transport League, M.A.N.) ! Thanks to this new album, the band hit the European roads (France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland) from October 16th until November 7th 2009. Monkey 3 also released their first live-DVD, «Live At Aventicum», recorded during their Rock Oz'Arènes 2007 live appareance.

Monkey3 already have a selectif and loyal public. The band builded through the years a solid live reputation,
with the quality and the originality of their lives performances. Monkey3 is back on track, stronger than ever !!!
