Monkeyshines

I don't usually pimp local music acts, but I'm going to make an exception in this case.The Primate Fiasco is a fun-lovin' bunch of incredible young musicians who play old-timey New Orleans-style jazz tunes. I saw them at the Iron Horse music hall in downtown Northampton last Saturday night and the crowd absolutey went nuts for these guys. They put on a hell of a show, complete with face painting, trophies for the best dancers, a hula-hooping girl, and some improv comedy sketches. Check them out if you get the chance. They do a killer "Muppet Show Theme".
