Monkeys Uncle

Gerard is the lead singer and second guitar. Gerard started off his music career in Sydney's southern suburb of Loftus and has made the northern Illawarra his home where the sun sets at 3 o'clock during the winter. He created a band called Three O'clock Sunset and the rest is history

Andrew (Jacko) Jackson has played drums since his teenage years in the northern Illawarra playing in local iconic bands The Suspects, Pay Day Millionaires and Strange Breew.

Will found himself playing bass as a teenager initially filling in for a mate on holidays. This led him to a popular 1970's band the Seaside Neighbours  and the new-wave inspired The Suspects. An unexpected stint with folk band Lizard Dust followed, and  much later, Tamnesia.

Starting out on jazz drums as a kid, Peter Wright always had a guitar close by, teaching himself the chops by listening to the blues greats. From the 1980s onwards he’s played in numerous bands across Sydney and the Illawarra, covering just about every musical style along the way — including Na Whom, The Rhythm Method and Miami Relatives. The drummer in him has never gone away, and his love of groove draws him naturally to anything with funk, soul and a deep pocket.

Shane has been picking out melodies on the piano since 3 years old, absorbing the sounds of the 60's, 70's and 80's and loving anything blues soul inspired. Time with Black Diamond Blues, Sidewalk Shuffle, Bluerays, Sweet Home Chicago, Kingpin and of course Monkeys Uncle, have followed.
