Spyder Monkey is an eclectic fusion of music with influences from progressive rock soul, funk, jazz, Reggae and American blues. With raw high energy the Spyder Monkey family of souls is creating music that transcends a myriad of musical genres. They achieve the solitary goal of touching the hearts & minds of audiences here and abroad. Spyder Monkey is fronted by uniquely gifted singer-songwriter Susie Lofton. Bright and insightful Susie sings compelling tales of the human experience. Her stories relate the struggle of natural man in search of spiritual connection while exposing the world's leveling atrocities. Described as "a girl who can belt a strong blues sound to rock music.." Susie's powerful "sweet & soulful" voice is noted to be reminiscent of notarious female rockers PJ Harvey Grace Slick, Blondie & Concrete Blonde's Johnette Napalitano. Formerly front woman vocalist & songwriter for Digable Cat Susie's writing accomplishments include full length EP "Skratch Traxx" (Blue Tortoise Records) a self titled release recorded at world renown Fantasy Studios in Berkley California with 4 Non Blondes drummer Dawn Richardson. Other Digable Cat projects include mainstage performance at H.O.B. Chicago H.O.B. Back Porch Stage sponsored by 947 The Zone Midwest Tour, UK Tour & 2004 MECA Music Conference & Festival. Coming from the heart of the jungle are the players: Machine gun drummer Mike Tooles has been around the block as they say. His talents have led him to work with Rocombu Jazz Minor Diety & Jellyeye Dance Theater among other side projects. He is also the mastermind behind sick & twisted poly-rythms that come in handy from time to time in Spyder Monkey. Next hot rod guitarist Chuck Polenzani is a guitar Ninja. His face melting solos & sweet sensibilities add a wide range of color to the music. Chuck's previous bands include Fragile Ethos Shuragin & Tommy Gun. Lastly the soulful pop slappin bass work is that of Jeff Blatherwick. Jeff has opened for jazz bass great Victor Wooten as well as played with blues legend Otis Rush backed by Jimmy Dawkins and the Blues Temple Band. The four-headed monster quartet ferociously scale the wall of sound by integrating their diverse backgrounds taking no prisoners. With their forces combined SPYDER MONKEY has forged a new dangerous breed of music heard the world over! |
