About The Tea Monkeys

THANKS FOR VISITING OUR PAGE!

"Congratulations on a great sound...A GREAT BAND!" - Dean Jackson, presenter of The Beat on East Midlands BBC radio.

"The lads have fine tuned their unusual rock-meets-reggae sound to great effect. Their debut album "Hanging Baskets of Babylon" combines this sound with essences of funk and folk, giving the tracks an eclectic, chilled feel..." - 69 Magazine who placed The Tea Monkeys second in the 15 hottest bands to emerge during 2007!

"When The Tea Monkeys took to the stage there was a real buzz, which is to be expected when you have a band this talented. Their rock-meets-reggae-meets crowd enthusiasm style is as close to perfect for the mood of the night as possible, as they ran through a superior set. 'Something in This Alcohol' is a stellar track, yet it was with their anthem 'Light Up' that the room became alive with dancing, singing and many smiles. This is a classic song, and provided the moment of the night." - Ollie of Demos Reviewed, who awarded our track Light Up second place in the best songs of 2007!

TO CHECK OUT THE ALBUM, FOLLOW THIS LINK.

You can now find our music at many e-shops including Rhapsody, Apple iTunes, and others.

We also have A PAGE HOSTED BY THE BBC, a BRAND NEW WEBSITE under construction, and a SECOND ALBUM on the way too!

Feel free to SEND US A MESSAGE.

Respect due to Demos Reviewed, Dean Jackson, The BBC, 69 Magazine, the Saturday Breakfast crew on Leicester Sound, Bungle and ALL OUR MATES! - THANK YOU VERY MUCH, WE DO APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT!!

Also thanks to Chris Smith (aka. Baldrick) and Adrian The Rock for their photographs, and to all our fans who have supported us so overwhelmingly - you know who you are!
