Blue Monster

Blue Monster is an instrumental funk band that has been playing venues and festivals in the Northwest since 2005. The band originally started as a trio on Vashon island experimenting musically, and collaborating along the way with many talented local musicians. Blue Monster is known for their live performances, combining heavy funk grooves laced with psychedelic improvisation. The rhythm section lays down heavy driving beats interlocking with intricate pulsing bass lines, while other instruments float overhead with a dizzying array of subsonic sounds. All along, the guitar skanking super funky rhythms with mind melting solos take you on an audio journey to another dimension. Blue Monster is guaranteed to shake your ass and free your mind.
