The Clapping Monkeys sure made an impression during their brief, fourth place winning set at the Lethbridge Student’s Association Band Wars, Jan. 21, because they packed the Owl Acoustic Lounge full of their hooting , hollering and whistling fans, Jan 28.
It was standing room only for an upbeat evening beginning with folk pop singer Roderick Watt.
I only caught the last part of his set.
But everyone was there to cheer for the Clapping Monkeys and started cheering even as they tuned up.
They showed some impressive musical diversity from more ’90s pop-rock to blues, folk, a touch of reggae some “political folk rock” and a variety of cool things in between everything else.
Their music sounded relentlessly upbeat and positive. Even their “grunge” song sounded pretty happy.
