The Hot Monkey is the name under which Memphis musician Scott Taylor (The Grifters, Porch Ghouls, StickyIckyIcky, Chopper Girl and Memphis Babylon) records and performs his solo material, as well as early versions of his Grifters contributions. His album More Than Lazy was described as low-key, lo-fi. Taylor, along with his Grifters bandmate Tripp Lamkins, has played dates in the Midwest and South. According to Billboard Taylor was due to record a Hot Monkey 7-inch for Sub Pop in 1998.[1]
