2 Sick Monkeys - Man On The Moon, Cambridge 29/08/09


It's ridiculous to think that I hadn't seen 2 Sick Monkeys before. Not just because I've known both members for over 20 years, or even because I've been in bands with both of them at different times.

No, the main reason this is so ridiculous is that this was their 498th gig.

Feel free to read that again. Their 498th gig.

Yes, heading towards their 500th live performance, 2 Sick Monkeys rolled into Cambridge (and ultimately onto my living room floor) to astound everyone as to how much noise a band can make with just vocals, bass and drums. Pete's on-stage banter has been the stuff of legend so it was great to finally witness it first-hand (he always had something to say when fronting Cut Throat Razor, but he's stepped this up a level).

Check them out over at My Space good people - and maybe you could even go along to their forthcoming 500th gig ....

Nice one Darryl and much appreciated (as was your floor!! ha ha)
Just one tiny thing to point out, it was the 488th gig not 498th.
Other than that all is lovely ;)
Hope you managed to find something to do with that wardrobe ha ha
And all the best to you, Lou and the little Wilks'
Cheers

Pete
