As I already told you here last year, the Monkey Crashers are back with new dates in 2013 to shake up the Parisian nightlife.

These monkey-headed gentlemen, arriving in their black van, take over the DJ booths of trendy bars and clubs in Paris, as well as in other cities across the country, for 45 minutes with their tasty and musical hold-ups.

From April to December 2013, about sixty establishments will be raided using this effective method.

New for 2013: this year, the holy grail to obtain during these hold-ups will be the Monkey Pass! Thanks to this golden ticket, you will get privileged and free access to the mixology creations of the Monkey Crashers via their pop-up bar. To get this famous pass, which can be reused at will all year long, reach out to Scott, the entertainer of this merry bunch.

You can also participate in a photo contest organized during every party with the Monkey Crashers. The photos will be uploaded to the Facebook page, and the most liked photos will win prizes.

It is also on the Facebook page that you can find the schedule for the upcoming hold-ups (date, time, location).

One last detail, to celebrate their comeback, the 5 simian sidekicks are creating an event on March 28th with their very own party. On the program: showcases by Saint Michel, Lilly Wood & the Pricks, Feadz, and Teki Latex.

If you want to be among the lucky ones invited to this very private party, a few tickets will be up for grabs on the Monkey Crashers Facebook page during the month of March.
