Wise Monkey

Wise Monkey was founded in 2014 in Vienna by guitarist Robert „Flappo“ Eder, percussionist Gerald Penz and singer Mario Cerneti as a self-described live band, mixing R’n’B, Beat and Brit Pop. Their catchy songs like Georgie McCann conquered the audience immediately and so it happened, that Franz „Znarf“ Huber joined the band in 2015 as one of Austrias best hammond organists. In 2016 Mario Cerneti left the band and Wise Monkey used this as a relaunch. Gifted Tom Hansmann became the new singer, Znarf switched to the bass and left the organ to Julia Bachmair, later to Albert Kastl. Since January 2017 brilliant Stefan Kawinek is doing a great job on the drums. The crowning element in the band is Birgit Sekanina as female backing vocal. Reguarding the bands musical repertoire the song "Wise Monkey" is an exception for enlarging the R’n’B sound with funky elements. The text itselfs as the bands name is an allusion to Londons regiolect Cockney.
