A DIFFERENT WAY TO SEE LIVE MUSIC Our community creates an inclusive space where music matters so that you can get lost in the performance. Monsterboy LIVES, Little Rock AR - Chris Long was raised on the blues of the Delta South, learning every instrument in rock during various projects. Veronica Wirges is a classically trained saxophonist and pianist, with a love for African tribal instrumentation. It is as odd of a match, musically, as you could marry. So that is what they did, quite literally. They met, fell in love, and said I do. The couple didn't rush right into things, and it was over a decade into their honeymoon before fate pushed them into creating together. The catalyst was a long winding story involving a trip to Bonnaroo, a writer with MTV.com, and a party during SXSW. What to expect? A bit of a Frankenstein's Monster, an alchemy of genres that somehow works together and has a life all its own. You'll hear synths, guitars, and saxophones, including a 100-year-old 5-foot-tall bass saxophone named Sweet Connie. You'll find their eclectic tastes reflected in the world percussion and EDM elements in their work. All to create an indie sound uniquely their own. Monsterboy LIVES is about how two peculiar people, madly in love, are finding themselves and their way through this world together. Their journey speaks to hopeless romantics, band nerds, and creative spirits.
