The Velvet Monkeys ‎- Future [LP] (1983)

Guitarist / producer Don Fleming and drummer Jay Spiegel formed the pop culture tribute band Velvet Monkeys in Washington, D.C., in the early '80s. Both were veterans of Jad Fair's long-running noise pop outfit Half Japanese, with whom they would continue to record throughout the 1980s (Fleming was also in The Stroke Band in the late '70s with Bruce Joyner of The Unknowns). Other members of their garage rock combo included Malcolm Riviera on guitar and keyboards, Elaine Barnes on keyboards and vocals, Charles Steck on bass, and numerous others (the lineup was fluid, to say the least). The group's first recorded appearance was on the 1981 compilation 'Connected' (Limp Records). That same year, they released their first full-length, cassette-only 'Everything Is Right' on their own Monkey Business label. It was followed by the similar-sounding garage-o-rama 'Future' in 1983.
