Monsterboy LIVES, Little Rock AR - Chris Long has always been in a rock band, fronting rock acts over the last decade. Veronica Wirges is a classically trained saxophonist and pianist, with a love for African tribal instrumentation. It is as odd of a match, musically, as you could marry. So that is what they did, quite literally. They met, fell in love, and said I do.
The couple didn't rush right into things, and it was over a decade into their honeymoon before fate pushed them into playing music together. What to expect? A bit of a Frankenstein's Monster, an alchemy of genres that somehow works together and has a life all its own. You'll hear synths, guitars, and saxophones, including a 100 year old 5-foot-tall bass saxophone named Sweet Connie. You'll find their eclectic tastes reflected in the world percussion and EDM elements in their work. All to create an alternative rock sound steeped in the blues of the delta south.
Monsterboy LIVES music is about how two peculiar people, madly in love, are finding themselves and their way through this world together. Their journey speaks to hopeless romantics, band nerds, and creative spirits.
Monsterboy LIVES offers both a full production electric set and a lower key acoustic version. This flexibility opens them up to entertaining at festivals, venues, events, and breweries.
