This entertaining show offers a simulated trip through the radio stations of yesterday as local DJ and lead vocalist Tony Traguardo "talks up the tunes" as the band performs.

“The Chimpanzeatles” Present the Music of the Monkees and the Beatles (Duo, trio or quartet. Vocals by Tony Traguardo)
We have heard their music and seen them on TV and in movies for years, and we always think of these two groups in very different ways. The Beatles are 'musical geniuses', and the Monkees are the cute bubblegum group that didn't play their own instruments. Well ... there's much more to the story. And in this program the guys tell the interconnected stories of both bands through anecdotes and their amazing music.
