Posted on by

MonkeyBar is a Scandinavian duo is made up of two musicians that have played and worked together for 8 years in different bands and setting. We play original music in a mix of pop/electronic/jazz/techno style with the improvisational approach from their background as jazzmusicians.  Strong melodies, grooves and rhythms is the essence, enriched with synthesized sounds, small melodies and building solos. MonkeyBar plays with a smile on their face, and presents both touching moods and subtle humor.
