Funky Monks Band is America's premier Red Hot Chili Peppers tribute band, playing all the RHCP radio favorites plus the great punk & funk classics that helped put the multi-Grammy winning Peppers on the map. Since formed in 2003, The group has had the privilege of playing at venues all across the U.S. as well as internationally. From bar gigs to college fraternity parties and campus events to private parties to city festivals, Funky Monks have traveled all around to entertain fellow Peppers fans.
For Funky Monks, every show is a celebration. While offering choices from a growing catalog of 80+ songs, they focus on giving the audience the same live experience they would expect from a real Peppers concert: stage energy, crowd interaction, funky live jams, random surprise covers and of course all of their biggest hits. "Our goal is to make everybody in the venue forget for just a moment that they are watching a tribute band". With uncanny Anthony vocals, funky Flea-style bass, Chad's heavy-hitting rock style to a guitarist who can bring Slovak, Navarro, Frusciante and Klinghoffer together all in one show...you won't find a more accurate tribute to the Red Hot Chili Peppers!

Funky Monks are quickly becoming the nation's top-recognized tribute to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. With exposure all over the Midwest and spreading to both the East and West coasts, the band will be further stretching its boundaries, taking on international shows in Mexico and Puerto Rico.
The accurate reproduction of the music of RHCP, combined with a dead-on match to Anthony's lead vocals, make Funky Monks second only to the real Chili Peppers themselves. Funky Monks' first goal was to master all of the radio favorites, and the band now works to continuously expand the song catalog to include deeper-cut requests from the fans that come out to the shows.
