Since then, they have played hundreds of shows across the U.S. and have toured with national acts such as Less Than Jake, The Toasters, Mephiskapheles, and The Queers. They have also shared the stage with Authority Zero, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Ryan Eldred(of Catch 22), The Flatliners, Mustard Plug, Pour Habit, The Slackers and Strung Out and more.
Chilled Monkey Brains released a full-length self-titled album in 2010 and an EP titled "We're All in This Together" in 2012. Their second full-length album, "APEocalypse", was released on 10/17/14, and features guest artists Danny Bedrosian of Parliament Funkadelic (keyboards) and Tim Blackmon of Fungle Junk (trumpet).
“Chilled Monkey Brains reminds me of equal parts Reel Big Fish, Streetlight Manifesto, The Hippos, Five Iron Frenzy, and even fellow Floridians Less Than Jake. They have the ability to take bits and pieces of ska's past and combine all these different influences and sounds into original and exciting music..."”

"I watched Less Than Jake grow from a ska-core buzz band into a national treasure. These guys remind me of LTJ - it's all about energy, and fast-tempo fun."
Bill DeYoung - Connect Savannah
"I wanted to turn ya'll on to a band I just saw at the Mass Ska Raid. Chilled Monkey Brains went on early in the day and stole the show. They play a really awesome and fun mix of hardcore and ska but mostly just ska. Not only was it ska fun at its finest but their stage antics and humorous attitudes just added to the impressive atmosphere they managed to create."
Adam Keen - BeAtlanta
“In all of my days there have been some good punk/ska bands, but Chilled Monkey Brains are the next level of greatness!”
