Q. What's the most common thing about bands on myspace?
A. You get friend requests from them every day.

Monkey Gone Mad, we're different. With the exception of the handful of friends we requested when we first signed up for Myspace almost a year ago. All of our friends on our list came from people friending us. And in that time, we received close to a thousand friend requests. The one-year mark is approaching, and we thought it would be cool if we could get to 1,000 friends by continuing to receive requests. If you think that's a pretty cool idea, and dig our ska-punk-funk-reggae sound, tell some friends about us. Thanks a lot!

And ..2 (the number, not our sax player), we were also thinking it would be cool to be mentioned in this year's Times Union Readers Poll for "Best Local Band". To make things super easy, there's an online poll so all of you can fill it out in a matter of minutes. And hey, feel free to put down "rkstar.com" under best local website as well. :-) Hurry though, polls are tallied on May 29.

thanks for being such great fans!
