Rainbow Butt Monkeys.

No, you didn’t catch me doing my vocal warmups, and our editor forgot to cut this part out - and no, I haven’t been partaking in some pre-podcast psychedelics… Rainbow Butt Monkeys happens to be the name of one of Canada’s preeminent rock bands of the 2000s.

OK I’m bending the truth JUST A BIT  - it’s only the FORMER name of one of Canada’s preeminent rock bands of the 2000s. 

You may be more familiar with them by their multiplatinum name; Finger Eleven. 

Yes, the hard rocking five-piece from Burlington Ontario spent a resounding six years under the Rainbow Butt Monkeys moniker in the 90s, before giving themselves an edgier rebrand as Finger Eleven and riding the waves of early 2000s nu-metal, post-grunge and alt-rock.

A stalwart on radio stations from coast-to-coast in this country to this very day, Finger Eleven were certainly no strangers to success in the late 2000s

But as the band told me earlier this month, something strange happened on one fateful day in 2006 that would give the band a level of success they’d perhaps never expected.

This is the story of  Finger Eleven’s Paralyzer - Featuring an exclusive interview with Finger Eleven's Scott Anderson and James Black, taking you even deeper behind the story of the song!
