Hey hey!
Well it's been quite a long time since I updated the blog and I've got a few juicy nuggets of information for you to chew on!

Firstly, and most importantly, we have been invited to headline a brand new unsigned bands event at the one and only Ritz in Manchester, called 'Break Thru'. (like you haven't already heard)
This is a great honour for us as it is truly, hand on heart, the best venue in Manchester. The list of bands that headlined shows there in the past is an impressive thinng in itself, but the best thing for me is the theatre like set up which delivers great acoustics and the sprung dance floor! It adds to the atmosphere for me when I'm on stage buzzing and I can actually feel the vibrations of the hundreds of crazy people bouncing along with us. Trust me, you won't find a better place to witness and be part of our MOST PRESTIGIOUS SHOW TO DATE!

So heres the deal, its on Friday 3rd April, (not long off now) coaches leaving from the Traf in Nelson around 6.30pm, and from the Lounge in Burnley about 7pm. (If any groups of people would like to be picked up from another pub get in touch and this could be arranged)
The ticket costs you £7 and the coach £6. VMan Events have very kindly offered us and all our fans free entry into another late venue for an after party, should enough people wish to go! We are considering sending one coach back straight after the show at about 12.30am for those who can't hack it, and the other will go on to the after party, assuming theres enough interest. So, basically its set to be a belter and you'd be madder than Brian Mad of Madcastle to miss it!!!

Oh, nearly forgot......

Everyone who does come along on the coaches will receive a free cd which we have recorded last week in a little studio called the Purple Room exclusively for our loyal army of insane wierdos.
The cd is called 'The Purple Room Sessions' and features 4 tracks recorded acoustically with a very atmospheric sound and pure raw emotion. The track list is 'In Fashion', 'Cradle to the Grave', 'Give Me Something' (brand new never before heard track), and 'The Man Who Played God'.
This cd will only be available on this trip.

So what you waiting for? Get in touch with one of the band or Steve via mobile, or email us at anewbreedofmonkey@ntlworld.com and get booked on!

Coming soon....

Professional video shoot for In Fashion. Extras needed! More info soon.
We go back in MJM studios to complete our new album

Until then, thanks and keep the faith.

Well, well, well! It seems that the Manchester music scene can't get enough of a New Breed of Monkey at the moment! Following our very successful show at the legendary 'Ritz' we have now been invited to HEADLINE a night of music at Manchesters Academy 3 and Club Academy. There will be many bands* playing both venues (which are in the same building - one ticket gives access to both) and top of the bill is yours truly. This is a massive honour for us, and one can't help but think that this is just a test, that if this gig go's as well as the previous few it will open many doors for bigger, more high profile shows.... who knows!? As most of you will know our following over the last 12 months has been phenominal and is ever growing. It's time to jump on the band wagon people! Get out, get fucked up and see some great bands!!!!!! It's all going down on Saturday 7th Feb. Tickets are £6, and yes of course we are putting on transport! It'll cost you a measley stinkin tenner for your ticket and return coach, which will run from Nelson and Burnley. We are just too good to you aren't we! Inside the venue there are a few bars and on the ground floor there's a student union bar with drinks offers and a smoking area. What more do you need? So we hope to see you there, supporting us as always at the most prestigious show in a New Breed of Monkeys history! So far anyway! Thanks for your continued support.

Much love for 2009.

*A NEW BREED OF MONKEY + SEX RADIO + THE FOLD + THE ADDICTION + THE GREAT FURY + JAMES CAPPER + REFORM + THE TIDE Tickets from all online ticket sources £6 plus usual fees.

First of all thankyou thankyou thankyou to EVERYONE who showed up for the semi finals of Surface Unsigned Festival at Club Academy in Manchester, that includes all from the Traf, Burnley, Harle Syke, Nelson, B'ford, 56 Olympia, my grandma and everyone else! We couldnt have done it without your support and the amazing atmosphere YOU created. Straight up, this was the best crowd we have ever played to and our best gig to date because of it! 100 tickets were sold..... see u all in the finals!!!!!!!!!

which are:
Saturday the 30th August 2008.
We are not sure what time we will be gracing the stage at ACADEMY 2 in MANCHESTER, but we have been told it's during the day, so even longer drinking time! Also on the 30th it is our sweaty drummer bummer boys 23rd birthday! So we will be celebrating with a capital C baby!!!! Whether we win or not!
There will be coaches, most probably free again. And we get longer to play for you this time round.
There will be plenty of wrecked people bouncing and singing throughout.
There will be a brilliant band or two.
So if you wanna come and make this even bloody better (if thats possible) then get your tickets the usual way. Either contact us at anewbreedofmonkey@ntlworld.com or on facebook or myspace, or contact one of the band and we'll sort you out.

Thankyou so much music lovers. Keep believing.
