Uncle Monkey

Bio

New Zealand trio Uncle Monkey are enjoying increasing success as they continue to promote their debut album 'Same Planet Different Orbit' and second album 'The Great Attractor'.

Public and industry support for the Wellington trio has gathered momentum with the band performaning an impressive line-up of gigs in Australia and New Zealand.

Since the band's formation in 1997, Uncle Monkey has won the Wellington Battle of the Bands, conducted a successful mini-world tour, won the Australasian music award 'Unleash your Music Online' and performed at the New Zealand Songwriter Awards.

Uncle Monkey has received an enthusiastic response from the domestic and international music industry with favourable comparisons made to Crowded House and The Whitlams.

In 1999, the band completed a tour of London, Manchester, Alaska, Hollywood, Australia and New Zealand, supporting the likes of Australian legend Paul Kelly and kiwi Dave Dobbyn. Uncle Monkey recently supported Zed at the Canterbury University's end-of-term party.

Throughout all of this, the trio maintains one of the most impressive websites seen of an emerging band, indicating
their sights are set firmly on the future.

Uncle Monkey Live On More FM
Posted: Sun May 4, 2003 2:41 pm
Uncle Monkey will be doing an interview and singing 'Open Arms' live on MoreFM on Monday morning at 8.30am.

'Cracked Up' the forthcoming single will be released to radio in the next couple of weeks although MoreFM will be starting to play it next week. So get your fingers limbered up and ready to do the dialling and help the band out by requesting the song...

The music of 3-piece Uncle Monkey is currently getting the attention of a big name in the UK. On the back of the success of their 'From' and 'Open Arms' music videos and singles and the quality of their new album 'The Great Attractor' the band are securing rights to the album release here in Australasia and in negotiation with 'Mission Control Artists Agency' in the UK who are representing the band for a rumoured release there. 'Cracked Up' the new single from the album features an 'in your face' lyric backed up by some tasteful guitars, backing vocals and organ. A reviewer recently stated that "every now and again... as cliched as it sounds, it does happen. Those little bubble bags spew forth a gem".
