Barrel of Monkeys’ live concert CD of favorite BOM songs!
Barrel of Monkeys’ second CD* was recorded live at Wise Fools Pub on August 8, 2005. Featuring BOM hits such as the soulful and swingin’ "Bad Car," the melancholy Gershwin-esque "Wearing A Pink Dress," and the Kraftwerk-inspired audience favorite "The Dog Was Dead," this CD will delight children and adults alike, both old fans of BOM and new. Get your copy of the CD after any performance of "That’s Weird, Grandma" or buy the CD or mp3s (and listen to samples) online at CDBaby.
