POPvltr Editors - PopVulture Entertainment Network (POPVULTURE Magazine)

"Out of the cubicles and back on the road, Monkeys in Space part 2."
Jay Allen Sanford - San Diego Reader

““We’re gonna do like he says and just go out there on the road and jam our music down their throats until they listen.” He says MIS will tour in support of their 2010 release, Flying Under the Influence."”
Dave Good - San Diego Reader

"It has been said that rock is dead, but Monkeys in Space prove that this cliché is far from the truth. The dudes in this band show listeners everywhere that every aspect of rock is alive and it is proven in this EP."

"1. How did you get your band name? Johnny Rukkus: Around 22 years old....failing miserably at expected means of living and feeling totally out of place in everyday life...feeling like a monkey plucked from my natural habitat and shot full speed into space. What the hell am I doing here? Jeremy Vara: The name came about one night when Johnny and our original drummer Ryan were partying. I think they were pretty buzzed, playing some music for a friend who described them as “Space Monkeys,” which would make a whole lot of sense if you’d ever partied with those two back when we were 21. The name stuck and is actually a pretty accurate description of how we feel like we live our day-to-day -- feeling stuck, forced into an unnatural environment; trained to be something you’re not. All we really want to do is hang out in the jungle and swing from the trees."
Linda Ferreira - Absolute Punk

"After digging into savings and buying an old Metro transit bus with plans for renovation, the Poway-based members of the band Monkeys In Space will soon be hitting the road in style..."
Annie Lane - Poway Patch

"The How Far Will U Go campaign linked up with Monkeys in Space at the House of Blues in San Diego, CA. Their show was not only entertaining, it was unique and kept fans and first timers begging for more! Their album titled, "Flying under the Influence," is out and quickly building excitement. As the monkeys prep for their summer tour, the How Far Will U Go campaign builds to brings artists alike together and pushing towards achieving their dreams. Visit Mi$ @ fromspacetoyourface.com"

“Dave Good and the San Diego Reader talk Monkeys In Space! "Their music is in equal measures frat house funny, insecure, and played sometimes as if they are surprised to find how good those big fat power chords can sound when blasting from their own amps. Which is to say that MIS, like Rush and Black Sabbath, are pretty much a guy experience."”
Dave Good - San Deigo Reader

“The full MIS interview: Can you describe your music for readers who may not have heard? Kerp: Well i obviously think that its good music but if i had to describe it i would say it rock music that will put you in a state of "all you want to do it have fun" feeling. Johnny: frantic high energy rock n’ roll with a couple grooves mixed in- its all real and we are constantly fighting the real world for our right to rock.. and that’s what we sing about. ”
