Monkey Pudding Face

Monkey Pudding Face is an alternative rock/electronica duo based in Astoria, New York.  The line up consists of Kyle Marshall (vocals/guitar) and Gennaro Marletta (bass/programming).

The two met in college when Gennaro joined one of Kyle's previous bands, Research Has Shown. After some member changes Research Has Shown changed its name to Wake Up Saying Nothing, which they are still members of.

During the summer of 2009 Kyle approached Gennaro about starting the Monkey Pudding Face project, as an outlet for material seperate from what was being done in Wake Up Saying Nothing.  The initial demo recordings then led to shows around New York City.  Live shows are executed through a combination of live instrumentation, custom programming, homemade stage gear, and  triggered parts.  This modular performance system allows Monkey Pudding Face to perform in any environment.
