Tripmaster Monkey is an indie rock band from the Quad Cities (IL/IA). Members of the band are originally from Davenport, IA, Rock Island, IL, and East Moline, IL. They broke up in 1996 after a long American tour. They played straightforward guitar-driven rock, influenced by punk, grunge and other alternative or college rock. The name is a reference to the novel, Tripmaster Monkey.
