Release Notes:
Conceived a year before Damon Albarn's Gorillaz burst onto the scene, but signed
only four years after, Shaka Ponk are the French electro-punk collective
best-known for their digitally animated monkey character, Goz. Formed by web
designer Frah and guitarist CC in 2000, the pair experimented with various
visual techniques before recruiting bassist Thias and drummer Bobe-OD to
complete their lineup. The band quickly earned a reputation as a must-see live
outfit thanks to their multi-lingual fusion of rock, funk, hip-hop, and punk
with inventive imagery, which they perfected on their own online channel, Monkey
TV. In 2005, they signed a deal with Edel Music, and a year later, released
their debut album, Loco con da Frenchy Talkin, which was followed by 2009's Bad
Porn Movie Trax, and 2011's The Geeks & the Jerkin' Socks, the latter of which
featured new recruit, Samaha Sam on lead vocals.
