}}Recess Monkey is a Seattle-based trio of current and former elementary school teachers who have made music for kids and families since their debut album Welcome to Monkey Town in 2005.[1] They have since released 13 albums for family audiences. They perform live concerts throughout the United States with an emphasis on audience participation, energetic dance opportunities and a focus on the entire family.[2]

History

The band's original members, Drew Holloway (lead vocals, guitar), Jack Forman (bass, vocals) and Daron Henry (drums) met as colleagues at Seattle's University Child Development School.[3] They originally performed adult-focused independent rock as The Waiting Room but soon experimented with combining their indie rock music with childhood themes.[4] Drummer Henry was replaced in late 2012 by Korum Bischoff (formerly of The Dead Science), who continues as the third member of the trio.[5]

The name of the band is very similar to a fictitious band from an SCTV sketch "Pre-Teen World Telethon for Pre-Teen World" called the "Recess Monkeys" consisting of John Candy, Eugene Levy, and Rick Moranis. [6]
