Backstory:
In 1996 James Kochalka left a voicemail on Dave Zamboni's answering machine. "Hey, It's James, I think The Zambonis should write a song about a hockey playing monkey." When such a great idea is pitched, great people listen (not smart but, great people). The two teams put their heads together and wrote and recorded "Hockey Monkey". In1997 James Kochalka and The Zambonis released the song “Hockey Monkey.” Produced by Original Zamboni and Grammy winning Peter Katis (Interpol, National, Kurt Vile etc etc) the song and video took on a life of its own. Nickelodeon’s legendary show KaBlam! made a video for it, Fox TV used it as THE THEME for a show called “The Loop”. EA Sports put it on its classic PlayStation/Xbox game soundtrack NHL HITZ. The moneys made from the song gave JAMES the freedom to quit his job at a Chinese restaurant in Burlington, VT. It also gave The Zambonis the chance to perhaps pay a manager and a publicists to further their career but, instead they bought a $2500 monkey suit and created their mascot/best primate buddy The Hockey Monkey.
The whole crew is back and have written a new special Hockey Halloween haunter!
