Hello Hirsute Humans and Purple Primates everywhere.
Spring is in the air, the crocuses are out and us monkeys are coming down from the trees with some VERY exciting news... wait for it...................
3 DAFT MONKEYS WILL BE PERFORMING 3 LIVE TRACKS ON THE BOB HARRIS SHOW ON BBC RADIO 2 ON SATURDAY 2nd APRIL.
It will be on his Bob Harris Sunday show which is on Saturday night from midnight til 3am (we'll be on from 1 til 2am) and we are very excited to be doing it. Crack open that mug of cocoa, turn up the gramophone, let's party! Bob Harris saw us performing at Cropredy in 2010 and came straight up to chat to Athene afterwards, and was very enthusiastic about live performance. Hooray for Bob!!!!!
So, to celebrate, we're coming to play some live shows for you in the next couple of months. The dates are below, with venue contact details.... make sure you get your tickets as soon as poss as our last few gigs have been complete sell-outs and we couldn't bear to turn anyone away. So far we'll be in Bideford, Bridport, St Agnes, Southampton, Colchester and Bridgwater, and there'll be more added soon.
The voting is still on for the Spiral Earth Music Awards, and we are still in the running in the "Best Live Act" category, up against the big boys of the acoustic music world. It would be fab if you could follow this link and put your tick in our box. http://www.spiralearth.co.uk/spiralawards2011/
The festival season is shaping up nicely, we'll update you on which fields we'll be in soon. Festivals are still sorting out their line-ups, so if there's one you REALLY want to see us at, don't tell us, TELL THEM. Send an email to the festival, or start a page on their chatroom... they really do take notice.
Reviews are still rolling in for the new CD, we've had some really great ones, and will put more links up on our website to them in the next few weeks. We also have a feature in December's issue of Acoustic magazine, and will be appearing in some other glossies in the next few months.
One more snippet, we discovered that Athene's musical track The Old Man of Storr was used twice in a wonderful BBC Documentary called "The Art Of Cornwall". It's well worth a look if it's still on iPlayer.
And don't forget, on the home page of our website www.3daftmonkeys.co.uk you can download a free bonus track that's not on the CD called "Masquerade Parade"
So, see you at a gig VERY VERY soon, let's stir up a revolution, and DANCE.
