Details:
The original band (The Celtic Monkeys)was Seth Mulligan on bass and Jacob Weaver on guitar and vocals. Patrick McCarthy was soon added as a Lead guitarist (soon Jacob got way better and took the lead guitarist position). Several songs were written during this stage including "You Don''t Know" and "The Kidney Blues." Then Seth Mulligan moved to Paris, TN, but he remained in the band. They soon realized that their band name was just retarded. Then someone commented that they were really only a band in theory because they didn''t get to practice often because of where Seth lived, the person said they should be the theoretical monkeys as a joke but Jacob liked it, because he wanted his band to have the word monkeys in it. Soon after, singer/songwriter Luke Ramsey joined the ranks as something closely resembling a frontman. Patrick was moved to drums because having three guitarists is ridiculous. However, he lacked a drum set. He still attacked his bongos with vigor and passion. During this phase, the first hits of the Theoretical Monkeys were written. These include "Evolution," "Uncle Sam," and "Nakba." However, with gigs becoming evident, there was a sad parting with Patrick in order to get a drummer with a drumset. The Monkeys found their drummer in Garrett Miller, who swept in in a pinch and saved the band''s gigs (one of which, the Rock-A-Thon at Trinity UMC has since become an annual event, and the Theoretical Monkeys will be returning this year). He remained with the band for six months, during which the band''s version of Bob Dylan''s "All Along the Watchtower" came into existence and became a live staple of the group. However, there was much strife between Garrett and the rest of the band, leading to a stressful schism kicking Garrett out of the band. Spooncake''s drummer Everett Brown stepped in to catch the band and keeping it from splintering. Everett almost quit because being in two bands is a ridiculous time commitment but then Spooncake disbanded, allowing The Theoretical Monkeys to keep him. However, Spooncake soon reformed as The Groovitational Pull and Everett quit again. However, God did not want The Theoretical Monkeys to fail and sent them a drummer. A good drummer. With the addition of Redmon Polk came three new songs that are some of the greatest Monkey songs to date: "Bipolar Earth," "Baron Munchausen," and "Better Company." Soon thereafter came many more good songs such as "Ode to an Ode," "Storm Front," "Modern Institution," "Lady Luck," "Reggae 1," and "Revelation Now." But after many obstacles Everett joined the band again and The Theoretical Monkeys have finally made their concrete lineup. With this new addition, The Theoretical Monkeys have finally recorded an album titled "Pocketful of Dirty Words."
