Monkey3 is an instrumental rock band from Lausanne, Switzerland.

History

Monkey3 started as a jam band community in Lausanne during the year 2001. The core band was formed by Picasso (bass), Walter (drums) and Boris (guitar). The trio recorded the group's first full length album "MONKEY3" in 2003. The album was released in 2004 by the Belgian label Buzzville Records.

In 2005 dB (keys and sounds) joins the band as a permanent fourth member and in 2006 Monkey3 released its second album "39Laps" (Buzzville Records, 2006), followed by the EP "Undercover" (2009), the DVD rendition of Monkey3's show at the iconic Rock Oz'Arènes Festival "Live at Aventicum" (2009) and "Beyond The Black Sky" (Stickman Records, 2011).

In 2013 Monkey3 signed with Napalm Records and released The5thSun. Founding member Picasso departed in 2014 and Kevin joined the band on bass duties. With this new line-up, Monkey3 released three albums: Astra Symmetry (Napalm Records, 2016), Live At Freak Valley (Napalm Records, 2017) and Sphere (Napalm Records, 2019).

In 2021, Kevin left and was replaced on bass by Jalil.
