The Blow Monkeys - Announce four shows for 2023
Another chance to see The Blow Monkeys live in 2023
The Blow Monkeys have just announced a continuation to their 'Journey to You' UK tour, the band have just announced four shows for early 2023 after huge demand for tickets for their 2022 show. With hits like 'Digging your Scene' and 'It doesn’t have to be this Way', The Blow Monkeys epitomised the glamour of mid 80's Pop at its most graceful and sophisticated. In the band’s frontman Robert Howard (Aka. Dr. Robert), they possessed a tall, charismatic singer who was both camera friendly and clever, who appeared to be just as much at ease on the catwalk that is pop’s conveyer belt as he was penning witty, incisive songs. While quite clearly Robert’s band, though, the Blow Monkeys were also gifted three immensely talented musicians in bassist Mick Anker, saxophonist Neville Henry and drummer Tony Kiley.
The Blow Monkeys openly criticised the policies of the 1980’s Conservative government, railing against social injustices and adopting an openly left of centre stance on issues of the day. From openly endorsing the Gay community 'Digging your Scene' to an outright attack on Margaret Thatcher, and an amazing track you can hear at the bottom of this page. Another great track by The Blow Monkeys is 'Celebrate (The Day after You)', which is duet with the late, great Curtis Mayfield. The Blow Monkeys were always the thinking person’s Pop group, and a great live act... so make sure you get tickets to see them in 2023.
