About Dead Monkey

Rising from the ashes of the short lived Tenderkill experiment. Begbie and Durkin reformed the much loved Dead Monkey. 'Its time to get back to basics' declared the often vacant but never dull Durkin. After luring back Begbie from his lounge cabaret tour of Singapore they drafted in the rhythm section of O'Connor and Robinson (a kind of white trailer trash Sly and Robbie) from the seminal Manchester shoegazers Birth of the True. The line up was finished by the addition of Ross MacLeod. Ross is inspired by the Memphis swamp sound of Blind Tony McGhee. All in all this rag tail bunch of mavericks raise a sound at times powerful enough to envoke memories of grunge at it's peak or sad enough to make even Keith Harris cry.

Exit State	May 23 2007 9:41 AM Hi Dead Monkey, Just wanted to let you know about our big week of gigs running from 23rd May to the 27th May. We have just added a last minute show to our "Exit States Big Week" schedule. Its at Cafe Stylo, Blackburn, Lancs - tonight (Weds 23rd May 07). We will be supporting Avalon Way for their EP launch party, so if you are at a loose end then please get yourselves down tonight for major fun. Friday night (25th May 07) sees a return to The Rec in Winnington, Northwich, Cheshire. Its been a year or so since Exit State ventured down to Northwhich, and with new members and songs in tow it will be a great night. Saturday (26th May 07) has us banging out the tunes at Big D's Biker Bar, Burnley Road, Todmorden, Lancs with support from Metonia and 1 more to be confirmed. Sunday (27th May 07) sees the culmination of our gig week with Exit State taking to the stage for the International All Day Festival at the Attic, Warner Street, Accrington Lancs. Acts from the USA, Canada and Australia will be gracing the stage as well as local acts such as ourselves and our great friends Pretend Girlfriend. Exit State will be onstage around 8.30pm but please try and get down and support as many bands as possible. For details of the event, visit our official fan site group page by pasting in the link below into your browser and hey while you are at it why not sign up for the group if you havent already. http://groups.myspace.com/exitstateofficial Apologies to all those receiving this comment who dont live in the same country as us nevermind in the local vicinity of any of the above shows, but with MySpace's locality selector process being so piss poor we have had to comment you all. Have a great week dudes and we hope to see you at a show or two. Warmest Regards The Boys
