Monkey Dragon

Monkey Dragon is a collaboration project of Adham Shaikh and Buckman Coe.  It’s a live-electronic horn-fuelled space odyssey thru spaghetti western landscapes blending Funk, Cumbia, Dub and Psychedelia.  After working together on “Malama Ka’ Aina” and “Gathering Storm” Buckman and Adham began expanding their ideas of what collaborations could sound like.   This side-project quickly became a portal for both to explore new things and new techniques. Incorporating looping pedals and electronics , brass , guitars layered vocals and live guests , the live shows were a flying carpet ride of high vibes and joyous dancing. 

A lot of fun was had developing these songs across Bc at festivals and sweaty community halls with the tremendously towering trombones of Andy Cakes and the Sassy Brass of Harvey Paris.  Most of the live shows were recorded and some very sweet moments were integrated back into the rich tapestry of their debut album, “Enter the Multiverse”.  Catch Monkey Dragon at Wonderment 2022 at the Beacon Hill Park Cameron Bandshell on Friday, July 29 (Free Show starts at 7pm!).
