Monkey Men - Bio

Arguably, The Rolling Stones are one of the most iconic rock and roll acts in the history of modern pop music, given and holding the title of the World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band for decades. Monkey Men dare to stand in the world’s biggest musical shoes. Formed in March of 2023 by Karl Liebhardt and Paul Montgomery, band mates from a former Rolling Stones tribute, Exiles on Main Street, they hit the ground running with a fantastic line-up of local musical talent. Monty, the group’s frontman, looks nothing like Mick Jagger, but wears the look as the character he portrays. “I have seen the Stones at least a dozen times and I have been singing their tracks at the top of my lungs driving up and down California’s freeway’s for decades. I know what Mick sounds like and I know how he moves. What do they say about 10,000 hours? I’ve put the time in on their music”. Yet Monty asks the audience of Rolling Stones fans to listen with their ears, not their eyes. “I get our guys to bring the energy out of the music in their playing. I tell them, "I need to feed on you guys and you need to feed off me and the audience will feel it. We’re not just playing their music, we have to bring the energy they bring.” Like Mick himself says on Let It Bleed, “We All Need - Someone we can Feed aawwwnnnn..” Karl, the group’s “Keith” guitarist, is also the band’s historian, a veritable encyclopedia of knowledge about the Rolling Stones. He brings an authenticity to his musical approach staying true to the different guitar tunings Keef used on certain recordings and uses today in their live sets. There’s that 10,000 hours thing again… Monkey Men, a play on words from the hit song “Monkey Man” from the Let It Bleed LP, are after the live sound of the Rolling Stones today, bringing to the stage an entourage of seasoned, musically educated and talented performers including a horn section and backing vocals. Monkey Men bring the Rock and Roll Show in their tribute to the Greatest Rock and Roll Band, tip their hats and dig in the feast of energy in the music of The Rolling Stones.
