Legion of Flying Monkeys: Sing-along protest blasphemy rock may not be a music category in your record store, or a likely show theme on the CBC, but that's what you get when you sign up for Legion of Flying Monkeys music.Born in 2008 at the mighty Railway Club, onstage as a recurring experimental guest of the Super Robertson Supper Show, LFM features audience engagement and several homegrown instruments built by bandleader, Mr. Fire D. Man. An acacia marimba, wooden trumpets called Fuhorns, and hybrid string instruments with absurdist names like Slapdaddyhonk contribute to the band's unique sound.
'Screaming at capitalism and the creeping surge of theocratic fascism may never make us popular, but it's what the world needs right now, so that's what we're doing.', says F-Man, brushing woodchips off his clothing. 'We'll stop singing these songs when they are no longer relevant.'
Currently, Legion of Flying Monkeys are:
* Mr. Fire-Man, vocals, accordion & fuhorns
* Mythical Man, vocals, furhorn
* Dennis R. Tokarsky, percussion
* Elaine Independencia Joe, vocals & marimba
* Marco Magic Fingers Restagno, bass
* Dan Hill, vocals & ukulele
