The Krypton Monkeys are a new band of veteran Cleveland musicians.
Guitarist Ron Redfield, who played in many local bands going back to the ’80s, formed the group about three years with the idea of playing the type of anthemic hard rock with progressive underpinnings that he’d cut his teeth on. He’d just worked on some album tracks with L.A.-based keyboardist/producer Erik Norlander, which inspired him to put a fresh spin on material he’d written in the past two decades.
He enlisted some other local scene veterans —drummer Jim Dudash, keyboardist/vocalist John McLaughlin, and lead vocalist Bobby Huszar — to do a show. They liked the resuls so well that the Krypton Monkeys were born,
Now they’ve got a full-length album Crush, featuring material by Redfield and McLaughlin, as well as new versions of the pair of tracks by Norlander that Redfield played on.
If you liked bands like Foreigner, Asia, and Europe, you’ll love the Krypton Monkeys. They’ll be celebrating their record release at the Beachland Tavern. Tim Bradach will close the evening.
The $10 admission includes a copy of the album.
