Shaka Ponk got its start between Paris and Berlin in 2005 from a concept that brings together music, imagery and energy. The former web designer and frontman of the group, Frah, along with guitarist, CC, came up with a project that combined conventional rock-n-roll elements (dirty guitar riffs and beats) with techniques such as VJing, which mixes sounds and images around an animated monkey character named Goz who is considered as much a part of the group as the other five members. Since then, the band has been active online creating videos and motion graphic work along their conceptual style as well as their own online channel, "Monkey TV".
