Watch the New Video "John Wayne" by Rebel ACA & French Monkey Wrench
/Rebel ACA and French met nearly 15 years ago, as one managed, and the other produced a funk reggae band. And ever since, their completely opposite nature in almost every way, has kept them attracted, like a nut and ratchet. They’re real life childhood nicknames happen to be The Bear, and The Wolf. No-one knows or tends to question why, as it would make sense if you met them - but yeah. We don't know which one is which either. Rebel ACA (The ACA stands for - Anti-clockwise Attitude… ) when in full (arm) swing - can break anything, and French meanwhile is an absolutely inspired fixer - sometimes with his monkey wrench. French who sleeps under a harpsichord in his tiny flat with him and his daughter, and the Re-bel who never wants to go to sleep - like a young petulant child. And it would seem that they need each other - as apart from the fact you wouldn’t have this album - the Rebel would have no-one to fix his shit. And French would have not enough to do and would start fixing what wasn’t broke. And we all know how that’s not supposed to be a good idea at all.
Rebel ACA and The French Monkey Wrench describes the "John Wayne" song as "what it is to be a modern man in the modern world."
"The name John Wayne – a name most young people may not even know – is harking back to a simpler time and what a man was then. When men were tough not due to their gym muscles, but tough because of their mental strength and independence. About the guy in the street looking tough and cool, is on his own..but utterly dependant on his phone... What would John Wayne think?"
