The Buzzmonkeys, in their reckless endeavour to save rock
'n' roll in Clare from the stultifying tide of blandness that passes for
music these days, have built a solid reputation for pure rock 'n' roll mayhem
from the controlled chaos of their gigs, staring into the abyss and daring
it to do its worst, blurring the line between madness and genius, and
bludgeoning new fans to their side with their increasingly sophisticated
sonic attack.
Seldom heard strains from the likes of The Ramones, The Velvet Underground
and The Sex Pistols are jolted back to life in a snarling buzzsaw
sandblast from the past, plus the aural assaults of their own original
material featured on their debut album 'Shocked'.
The band have survived yet another internal convulsion and bout of bloodletting to emerge as perhaps Version IV to date, consisting of an entirely new backline of three new members drawn literally from all corners of the globe. The dual core of Pete Dooley and Andy Palfreyman remains as solid as ever and the new squad have been winning grudging respect from even their harshest critics.
As productive in the studio as they are unrelenting on stage, they have
completed their second album in less than a year. Tentatively entitled 'Oh Christ, it's The Buzzmonkeys!' it will be released in the very near future on the Ginger Jam Music label - once they pay the ransom...
Their debut album 'Shocked' is also available online from the Ginger Jam Music label.

I managed to keep my profile readable with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
Its been a while and we thought it was about time we updated you on what we've been up to. Our debut EP Little World is now available at our gigs and will soon be available from our myspace and facebook pages, you will also be able to download it from itunes, but we don't have a release date for this as yet.
To celebrate the fact that we have now reached 25,000 plays on myspace, we are giving you a free MP3 of Rockabye Baby. All you have to do is send your email address to queen.elvis@yahoo.ie and we will send it to you.
We have spent the last year rehearsing with a full band and are now ready to bring it on the road. You can get a look at us when we appear on Balcony TV this week with the full line up. We are currently taking bookings for gigs/concerts/festivals and can be contacted on the email above, or through our myspace and facebook pages.
Thankyou for your continued support in what has been a great year for us!
Brilliant radio session lads,the songs work great like that, the test of a good song is on it's own with a guitar and the Buzzmonkeys passed with flying colors... Looking forward to this...
