"Mugged by a monkey" a Geir original by Optimission

[Bernt]

Hi, my name is Bernt from Norway.
Geir, Jarle and me have recently started a new band together - Optimission.
We played together in the early 90s in LIFF

I play bass with Jarle in the band Swift Eolh and the Mudra Choire.

Finally we have joined forces again and this is the result from this weekend at my cabin at Rognstranda.
This is a song Geir recorded and posted here in 2011

We recorded it live and added det vocals.

Geir - Guitars, vocals
Jarle - Drums, vocals
Bernt - Bass, vocals

Hi Bernt welcome aboard...who doesn't like a song about a Monkey loving the melody

[kenny mac]

Thats a great sound you guys have there.
Tight and rocky.
I love the bass drum work and sound of the drums.
Jarle plays those drums effortlessly.
You all gel well together.
Keep it up.

[Hook]

Love this raucous, energetic monkey madness.
Welcome Bernt,  I love my beautiful blue vinyl copy of yours and Jarle s band, its a great album and thus is a great introduction. 
Rock on!

[Lurker]

I could dance to that. When are you coming to Florida?

[Blooby]

I wish I could be the catchy. I'm going to write a song about a capybara.

I am a big fan of the power trio. Done wrong, it is a train wreck. This is done right. Some of the vocal phrasing reminds me a bit of Phil Lynott  (monkey references aside).

Cool!

Welcome Bernt, and also welcome Optimission! This sounds raw and rocky, great energy, really tight playing and also well recorded for a live track. I enjoyed your bass playing, some really nice fills in there. Vocals are great and this is a great track full of monkey magic. More like this please!!

[Ted]

Love it!

Have we ever had a "Power Trio" fest?
