About

The Blow Monkeys are unique with a career spanning over 40 years. Always making new music, always stretching their own musical boundaries. With worldwide hits such as the classics ‘Digging Your Scene’ and ‘It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way’, they became household names but there was always so much more going on with these soulful troubadours.

Their relentless desire to move forward, to collaborate, to be socially engaged and to have something to contribute. Back in the 80’s they worked with people as varied as Curtis Mayfield, Paul Weller, Cheb Khaled and even Jamaican Toaster EEK-a-Mouse Dr Robert even took time out to release one of the UK’s first homegrown ‘house’ records “Wait” his top 5 duet with Chicago soul diva Kym Maselle.

And so the journey continues. Reformed in 2008 The Blow  Monkeys have been incredibly productive releasing nine new albums and playing hundreds of concerts. In the Summer of 2024 came a sparkling new album ‘Birdsong’ on Alan McGee’s ‘Creation Youth’ label.

These Monkeys continue to evolve. From their beginnings on the underground club scene right through to their appearance on the biggest selling soundtrack of all time “Dirty Dancing”(You Don’t Own Me) and beyond. Long may they swing.
