Monkey3 starts in 2001 in Lausanne (Switzerland) as a jam-band community, influenced by a psychedelic and stoner-rock vibe that reminds Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin or 35007.

With their debut album « Monkey3 », released in 2004 by belgian label Buzzville Records, the band got great reactions and reviews all over Europe, putting them on the map of the stoner-rock scene.

The 2nd album « 39Laps » is released in 2007 and features a highly acclaimed cover of a movie classic, « Once Upon A Time In The West » by master Ennio Morricone. The same year, the band played the famous Roadburn Festival in Holland and did an European tour, immortalized in a live DVD, « Live At Aventicum » (2009), recorded at the festival Rock Oz Arčnes (Switzerland).

The 3rd record, released in september 2009, is a cover album named « Undercover », loaded with covers from Archive, Kiss, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. This project features, as guest-vocalists, John Garcia (Kyuss, Hermano) and Tony Jelencovich (Transport League, M.A.N).Touring Europe, the band played Roadburn Festival 2010 (Holland) and Hellfest 2010 (France).

May 2011, release of the 4th album « Beyond The Black Sky », on the german label Stickman Records. The album has been recorded at Studio de la Fonderie (Fribourg, Switzerland) with the young and talented producer Johann Meyer. The artwork is by Malleus.

2011 Beyond The Black Sky

...Beyond the Black Sky is a solid psychedelic stoner rock album with plenty of atmosphere thrown in. The album starts off slower and builds itself up, mixing things throughout. There’s plenty of heaviness to go around while still maintaining depth in the aforementioned atmosphere. For me, this album didn’t immediately grab me and pull me in. It took a couple of spins to break down my wall, but once it found a weak-point, it hit hard. The album isn’t one of the longest albums I’ve been fawning over, but it’s a solid 42 minutes that will keep you interested should you give it the chance. When it’s all said and done, I would recommend this album.
