And indeed i have noted post-Covid a significant reduction in attendance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Monkeys is asking for support, i have joined in to do so. If you value their program and if you want this little niche to continue you may do so too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is what they say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre>\nWe need to talk\n\nFor those of you who know us well enough, this next part might not contain new information. But we\u2019d like to take a minute, to introduce ourselves and our work.\n\nOur journey starts 8 years back from now. When this whole adventure started, we had to goal to create a space of (sub)-culture and live music in Hamburg. All DIY.\n\nLots of you awesome people were celebrating, dancing and laughing with us during the last 8 years. But times change. And now we are not really in the mood for a dance through the night.\n\nSince the end of the Corona-pandemic, which on its own is a tough pill to swallow, there has been lots of repayments and rent increases. Nevertheless the higher costs in general when it comes to energy bills, fees, extra costs and many more. With all of this in mind, times are tough and we don\u2019t really see a light at the end of the tunnel.\n\nSo, what are WE doing, to develop a new program, with more open offers to new demographics. New events, new discos. And we are still open for bookings. This summer has been highly stressful and even though summer might be gone soon, we still don\u2019t really know, how to survive the winter.\n\nBut what can YOU do to help us? As said before you can book us as a location. And even if you don\u2019t want to you can recommend us to other people you know. Privat parties, company parties, birthdays, Live-recordings, shooting music videos, film set, record recording, record-release-parties and many more. We are a great music-venue which is very versatile, when it comes to booking us.\n\nGo see us. Together we\u2019ve had a blast the last 8 years. Your support before, during and after the pandemic has been tremendous and gave is the opportunity to keep going.\n\nAnd if you\u2019d like to support us even more, then check out our Patreon:\n\nFor those wondering: Patreon is an online service which allows you to support us via a certain monthly subscription. In exchange you get some perks like earlier links to buy tickets or livestreams. At the end its important to notice, that we don\u2019t want to get rich with this. Every dime spent by you will directly float into refinancing our costs and battling new and higher costs.\n\nEvery support helps us to keep going,\n\nThank you for being there for us.\n\nCheers,\n\nSam, Sandra and the Monkeys\u2019 team.\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Their choice of support is via Patreon.com &#8211; here is the link:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/MonkeysMusicClub\/posts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gehkacken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/monkeys_pat.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gehkacken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/monkeys_pat.webp 620w, https:\/\/www.gehkacken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/monkeys_pat-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.gehkacken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/monkeys_pat-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As with many venues the post pandemic norm also for the Monkeys is less guests, higher cost and as such a fragile setting at the risk of breaking.
