   About GRUDGEMONKEY
All session musicians, the band was formed between Danny Huckridge and Ollie Parfitt in 2001, after they first met on a session for Modaji to record Flying Saucer. They went on to record together for Bugz In The Attic, 2000Black, Afronaut, The Herbaliser, Modaji, Phil Asher and Restless Soul, also including being in the Neon Phusion band for festival appearances in Europe. It was on the Neon Phusion gigs that Ollie, Danny and Micky Moody first performed together. Ollie and Micky had been long time colleagues in the Herbaliser band and it was agreed around the time of those festivals that the trio would start recording together. In 2002 Cliff Hall was added to the line up, the studio was built and they began to write and record their new material. They record and perform individually with many different bands/artists and cover many styles of music, releasing tunes under the names ASSASSINO DANINHA and COSMOSIS, also on the 2000Black label. They like to feature guest musicians on their recordings, some of whom are listed in the band members section.

Hi GRUDGEMONKEY,

CHECK & COMMENT ON NEW DEMOS, VIDEOS AND FUTURE TRACKS FROM THE MASTERBUILDERS

Anyone up for a remix of Masterbuilders "Broke" (Summer Release)?

Now available for session work, my cousin Errol Cole - great singer & songwriter (and apparently he's affordable)

Here's the original of the Dilla sample. Hergest Ridge came out in 74 I think. This album went to no. 1 before Tubular Bells did. People bought this then found Tubular Bells, which had already been out for a year and knocked Hergest Ridge off the top spot. The only artist to knock himself off the top spot. Tubular Bells is still the album to spend the longest in the charts before going to no. 1.
