Hometown
Los Angeles, CA, United States
Formed
1966
Genre
Pop
The Monkees’ evolution from corporate boy band to adventurous pop project is one of the great stories of artistic rebellion. Assembled for a television show that launched in the fall of 1966, the foursome of Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork channeled the cheeky innocence of the pre-mustache Beatles to perfection. Off camera, though, they played hardball, leveraging their success to seize control of the music-making process. While The Monkees’ hits are proto-bubblegum gems penned by many of the decade’s best songwriters for hire, their deep cuts deploy ace studio musicians and cutting-edge technology to explore psychedelia and a cerebral brand of country-rock that would later be fleshed out on Nesmith’s solo releases. Their defiance culminated in the 1968 movie Head, a surreal critique of youth culture and capitalism pulsating with a deeply lysergic soundtrack. The quartet splintered by 1970, but their lasting impact on pop-rock led to several reunion albums, including 2016’s stellar Good Times!, featuring tunes written by alt-rock stars inspired by The Monkees’ quirky brilliance.
Members of The Monkees include, or have included, Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork, and Davy Jones.
