Monkey Philosophy
=Introduction= Monkey Philosophy is a high-school based rock band, and in which all members attend the Shanghai French School, or the"Lycée Francais de Shanghai". They are currently in Seconde (2nd), the french equivalent for grade 10 or year 11. They play a variety of different rock styles, such as garage, rap/rock, alternative rock and indie rock. They play famous and already existing songs, but always add different instruments or verses. =Band Creation/Members= The band was officialy created in September 2011 by 6 friends, when they started booking rehearsel and studio rooms, in the school as well as in Shanghai. Before that, they played at random times, when all group members were free. The band consists if Keyvna Denise, the lead singer and saxophonist (some skills at percussions too), Maxime Colin, a guitar player who had to reconvert to drums. There is also Gregoire Colmant, the band's pianist, Frederic Vieille, Monkey Philosophy's lead guitarist, Valery Charachon, the bassist and finally Romain Zhang, the group's back-up singer. =Tracks= The band has played a lot of different songs, all remixed to make them different from the original track: Bohemian Like You (The Dandy Warhols), White Trash and Walkie Talkie Man (Steriogram), The Oath (Street Sweeper Social Club), Seven Nation Army (Ben L'Oncle Soul), Oye Como Va (Santana), How You Remind Me (Nickelback)... The band has also have attempted Supermassive Black Hole (Muse), Sunday Morning (Maroon 5), Polly (Nirvana) and more.

Monkey Philosophy has also written so far one song called Mr. Dossin, who is their history-geography teacher. The song describes him as being a great teacher, fighting evil and always having a great time teaching his students. =Videos= The group also has plans for several music videos, especially after the Mr. Dossin clip was a success in their class. The video shows Keyvna, Maxime, Gregoire nd Frederic doing various actions such as playing instruments or fighting. Plans for a video of a fast-paced song, probably Walkie Talkie Man, are currently established.
