With heavy influence from US early nineties indie from the likes of Yo La Tango, Pavement and Sebadoh, plus a love of Americana and country amongst other things. Monkey, Don't! will be releasing his debut LP "Gubbins" on Manna Records in September. Live action July 1st at the EP Lounge in Farringdon, with DJing from Hot Chip, Pedro, Oscilx, Imeus and Radiator Boy.
