Yes it’s true. Long before there were Arctic Monkeys or Gorillaz there were The Blow Monkeys.  Purveyors of Simian Soul and Primate Punk, they cut a swathe through mid 80’s popular music 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, even working with artists as diverse as EEK-A-Mouse and Cheb Khaled.

This autumn tour precedes a new Dr Robert CD. "The Coming of Grace...An Introduction to Dr Robert" - a 20 track compilation handpicked by the good Doctor himself with sleeve notes by Paolo Hewitt. 19 of the tracks are from Robert's solo catalogue with the 20th track being his acoustic version of "Digging Your Scene".
