Release Notes:
Long before Arctic Monkeys or Gorillaz existed, there lived
The Blow Monkeys. 18 years after going their separate ways,
The Blow Monkeys returned in 2008 with their critically
acclaimed album 'Devil's Tavern'. "Their first album in 18
years still finds the frontman in fine voice. Robert continues
to sound like he dresses only in velvet and smokes cigarillos"
Taking to the road in 2009 with 21 dates to celebrate the
success of 'Devil's Tavern' are Dr Robert, Neville Henry, Mick
Anker and Tony Kiley. With classic worldwide hits such as
'Digging Your Scene' and 'It Doesn't Have To Be This Way', The
Blow Monkeys have built a reputation as innovators and
agitators: from the BBC banned collaboration with the late
great Curtis Mayfield on 'Celebrate' (The Day After You) all
the way to the UK's first genuine 'garage' soul hit 'Wait'
with Kym Maselle, in addition to working with artists as
diverse as EEK-A-Mouse and Cheb Khaled.
'Devil's Tavern' was funded by fans through the official
website and was recorded in the Andalusian port town of
Motril, in southern Spain. The band did the majority of the
production themselves, yet also enlisted the help of Blow
Monkey associates Marius de Vries (Bjork, Rufus Wainwright)
and Adam Moseley (Beck, Dust Bro's).
New single 'Travelin' Soul' is out Monday 2nd February with
the band hitting the road a week later.
