What's it like in Hot'lanta?
Access Atlanta to see what's happening in our city!
Coca Cola had it's beginning in Atlanta! But while traveling in Europe on a Francine Reed tour, this store front was spotted in Lucerne, Switzerland!...a "Monkey Hot Dog"...umm!! (now that's McDifferent!)
We get this question all the time... about the name! "Java Monkey" is derived from a Saturday Night Live skit entitled "Java Junkies". We were enjoying a strong pot of Colombian coffee at a rehearsal and it was apparent that we were enjoying our collective vice. I remarked that previously I had dreamed of being in a band named "Java Monkey", so hence, a name was chosen!
What else do the guys in the band do...well, briefly, Steve is a composer and is working to release his own CD of jazz flavored music...Michael is a graphic artist (he created our CD cover), and is working on his own musical project...Marvin is a songwriter, and has his "Band in the Pocket" CD's which are sold in music stores nation wide, i.e., Guitar Center chain...Bryan is involved in CMO Productions, a firm that records, produces, and manages. Francine Reed is one of their artists.
This band is one of the bands to see while in Atlanta. They sound great, have fun, and cause people to dance! Their style is mostly R & B, with rock, jazz, blues, funk, and an original style that's fun to experience.

Bryan Cole Update!
As most of you probably know, our friend and "Java Monkey" drummer "Bryan Cole" was rushed to the hospital on Saturday March 10, 2001 when he suffered a detached aorta. He went through a 7 hour operation to save his life, which was followed by 3 subsequent operations and an eventual amputation of his right leg.
* UPDATE Bryan is still in the process of recuperating and getting stronger every day. He's doing great! We're all encouraged and grateful with his on-going recovery.
To send words of support, you can leave a message for Bryan at the "Java Monkey Guest Book".
Remembering Mose Jones ...
