MONKEY is a 6 piece high-energy organ driven, Ska/Reggae group from the SF Bay Area. Their intense live shows and rock-steady rhythms not only get the crowds dancing, it has won them several awards, like the prestigious California Music Award!

MONKEY has 4 full-length albums, and has also been featured on over 25 compilations, video games and film soundtracks. Having already toured all over the U.S., Great Britain, Canada, & Mexico. They are using this show to gear up for the band is gearing up for their new Japanese compilation release “Monkeyska” (Disc Union Ltd.).They have supported world class acts like: Bad Manners, The Specials, The English Beat, The Skatalites, Fishbone, The Slackers, Hepcat and many more.

Warsaw is comprised of the Poland Brothers, Crix, Aaron and bandmates. Notorious for their live shows, they have played everywhere, with everyone, while releasing several nationally distributed cd's fueled by their label, Invisible Mass Records. Warsaw has been voted one of Jam Base's top 10 touring bands.

***RKRL is proud to be part of the Sixth St. Renaissance, Part of the new "Mid Riff"; The Grey Area Foundation, Hydrilla, The Showdown, Pearls Deluxe Hamburgers, Dotties, The Monarch, and Burning Man are just some of the businesses revitalizing this historic area of downtown SF.
