Bio

A group consisting of two members who make music which is out of the ordinary, delivering absolut power and energy when live on stage - and they are from Austria! You say "Impossible"? That's Tres Monos! Tres Monos was formed towards the end of 2003 by Campoz and Topoke. Campoz, born in Vienna with roots in Switzerland and El Salvador has been into music since childhood. As a guitar playing songwriter he has been part of more than one formation - he started producing electronic music for his last band "Drown A Fish". That is also where he met Topoke in the summer of the year 2000. Topoke was born in Vienna and grew up in Kinshasa - Congo (ex Zaire). His ability as lyricist and frontman have enabled him to convince and rock a number of stages and crowds. The Texts: Topoke's singular, multi-lingual lyrics in english, french, lingala, spanish and german deal with sociocritical and intercultural matters. From everyday-life between communities to current events, every topic has it's importance. Tres Monos' music is as diverse as their backgrounds. Evidently touched by hip-hop, Campoz and Topoke process influences from different musical styles such as rock, ragga, breakbeat and latin american flavor. Airplay on FM4, and OE 3 - mainstream radio - with songs like "Firefly", "Seibane" and "Play My Song" and the release of "Firefly" on the FM4 Soundselection 11 in November 2004, prove that Tres Monos not only appeals to a broad responsive audience, but also how they have managed to draw attention! Concerts strengthen their status of "top live act" and expands even more their fan base. Highlights so far: Donauinselfest 2004, Freizeichen Boarder Party, FIS-Snowboard Worldcup BIG AIR Riders Party, OE 3 Soundcheck Spezial/MyCokeMusic Remix Tour, Flüchtlingsball 2004 and 2005, OE 3|party @ s'cool, ski & board, etc... booking contact: [email protected] [link="http://www.myspace.com/tresmonos"] more about Tres Monos ! http://www.myspace.com/tresmonos - it's only music - it don't bite!!!
