Cracking review of our 'Why?' ep Here

Fungalpunk is a cracking little site. Great write ups for you and The Parodies. I have blogged a piece on it and put a link on the Green Man punk page.

Nice one Dave, very much appreciated.
And, yeah, it's a cracking little site and he writes with real enthusiasm...just lives punk rock (and nature) and he's a bloody nice fella too.
He'll be chuffed to know that you've gave his site a mention too...cheers.

Just wanted to add that following on from the top review on FungalPunk, we have also been chosen as band of the year and one of the performances of the year too.

To see for yourselves, please go to FungalPunk, scroll down and click on 'Annual Accolades'.

One last thing, we have now sold out of the first pressing of the 'Why?' ep but should have some more in January, along with new t-shirts, stickers, badges and new recordings.

Finally, 2008 has been another fantastic year for us...72 gigs all over the place, loads of new venues played, new bands played with, new friends met and made and hundreds of CD's and shirts sold...we even got paid for the odd gig...amazing!!

Anybody who has helped us in anyway, shape or form, be it big or small, we thank you loads!!!
You know who you are.....and so do we!!

Fuck Christmas but Happy New Year to ya

Interview in the new issue of Distorted Magazine Here

I don't know whether it's my computer but it seems to work better in Internet Explorer.
Also, gig list updated in first post.

Cheers

A great little review of our gig in Stockport last Sunday (again by Mr Fungalpunk).....
We played the 3rd day of a 3 dayer and it was great fun.
Here's the review....

"A small moment of respite then the super gigging machine that is 2 Sick Monkeys weighed in with another pot of gold that really highlighted what a fuckin' fantastic band these lot are. Bass and drums play in perfect unison and the attention to detail, general madness and stunning work ethic all paid dividends here with a performance that blew minds. People gorged on the skill of these two craftsmen and I feel 2009 is the year that 2SM really make waves. If there is a bad song in the set can you please e-mail the name of it as soon as so I can add it to this review - if not then f**k off and enjoy. As always absolutely superb and the fact that I ask them back every time says it all."

Cheers xx

New CD reviews of 'Why?' ep & 'Nowhere Nothing' ep by Neil Duncan of Issuepunk Fanzine now up in our blogs on myspace (link is in my signature).

And we are supporting STAR FUCKING HIPSTERS!!!! in Manchester in May with Dead Subverts...well fucking chuffed!!!

Review and a half from a gig we did in Staines last Thursday HERE!!.
Hope the link works and am I the only one who thinks this bloke might have been at a different gig??
Ha ha ha

What an ace review!!! He was definitely at the right gig Pete - especially how he describes the fact that you can intelligently out talk any bugger you meet!!
Nice one.

Ha ha cheers Mark, you're too kind
And, yeah, it's a great review!!

Found another one today too from a gig in Abertillery on January 16th
Here's the link.

Also, looks like a pretty good site for all things Punk, Metal, Glam, Rock etc...worth a look I reckon.
www.glitzine.net

Right I'm off to say hello to Hotel 75

A few things happening (or happened!)....

Billy Beaumont has made us 2 ace promo videos (a 3rd is on the way!!).
They are for "Why?" and "Live It Up (Fuck It Up)" (the 3rd one will be for "Nowhere Nothing"

You can see them on our website (home page & news page) and on our myspace profile.

The links are in my signature as this forum doesn't always let me make them in to links, so can't be bothered to spend ages editing the post only for it to look the same with no links

We also have a new song up on myspace and the website and facefuck called Sayonara, written especially for Ayumi from Ratbags.
It was recorded and mixed in about 45 minutes last Thursday, it's as rough as badgers arse but we like it and hope you will too....pop over for a listen and let us know...don't worry, we can take the bad news!! ha ha ha

Lastly, gigs lined all over the place, including support slots with Restarts (next Friday, Nottingham), GBH, Star Fucking Hipsters & Mischief Brew...and the European Tour for July is taking shape nicely!!
I'll update the gig list in the first post later on.

Thanks for reading...nice one!!

Tour dates in the first post have been updated...looking pretty busy now and European tour is nearly fully booked.
I'm currently trying to sort something out that will be brilliant if it happens...will let ya know asap - fingers crossed and all that!!

As ever, the tour dates in the original post have been updated.
