100 Monkeys is playing a tribute for their lost friend Spencer Bell in Dallas, TX on April 24th, 2010.

The two concerts will take place at Trees. There will be an afternoon all ages concert and evening 18+ concert.

They will be joining their friends The Stevedores, Drew and the Medicinal Pen, and Tin Tin Can to raise awareness for adrenal cancer and celebrate the life and music of Spencer Bell.

New bands Evro and The Kissing Club will join them for their first Spencer Bell Memorial Concert performances. But not only will fans be able to enjoy the concert, they can enter into special contests with prizes that include meeting the band and showing off their artistic abilities at the concert itself. Included in these contests is a music video contest, a tshirt design contest, a raffle with celebrity donated items, and a special auction.

The winner of the music video contest will have their video played through out the concerts. The winner of the t-shirt design contest will have their designed produced and sold through the Spencer Bell Legacy Project. All details of the contests can be found at http://www.asccnow.com/

The auction will consist of three special prizes. People can bid on the opportunity to interview the bands prior to the concerts on live streaming internet, dinner with the bands between the concerts, or a meet and greet with all the bands in a special VIP area. The raffle includes items such as a guitar signed by Bowling for Soup, autographed pictures from Simple Plan, a special designed t-shirt by Kelly Rathbone, and autographed portraits of the bands.

If you haven't seen 100 Monkeys in Concert yet, you absolutely must.

They are talented, energetic, fun and quirky. They have so many great new songs and their live shows are never a disappointment.

Here is my good friend Amy with the band last May.


I've been lucky enough to see them live plenty of times and I can't recommend them highly enough, just fantastic live shows!!

    Hey - have a question for the 100 Monkeys and their upcoming performance at the Spencer Bell Legacy Concert --

    check out Portrait Magazine
    http://www.portraitmagazine.net/

    They will be running a feature article on the Legacy Concert and the 100 Monkeys involvement in an upcoming issue - and they're asking for questions from the readers.

    So have a question? Now's your time to ask!

    Just to note, those who purchase their Spencer Bell Legacy tickets by January 31, 2010 will be entered in a drawing for balcony seats. Those who are unable to attend can still participate in the contests and raffles.

    We have added a very creative contest, one might think it was formed due to one of the band members proclivity to wear a hat. Maybe it was subconsciously on this person's mind, maybe not. The contest is titled Mad Hatter and details have been posted. See the information at the contest page

    You might want to know that Kelly Garrett Rathbone will be at the Deep Ellum Arts Festival on April 2-4, 2010 in Dallas, TX. She is creating a collection specifically for this festival and has generously agreed to donate part of her profits to adrenal cancer research.
