A rock & blues band who, after a fifteen year break, are back on a mission to bring their music to the masses, delivering it with more energy, enthusiasm, and passion than ever before.
This is a band so fearless that they go out in a thunderstorm to play with their kite. Under a tree. Wearing suits of armour.

Why this name?
Years ago...nicked from a Jethro Tull track!
Do you play live?
Yes, all over the UK, largely doing fund raisers for the sheer enjoyment of it! No particularly special moments, all gigs are special, but our first reunion one after 15 years break was a particularly moist moment...
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's kicked it up the ass and brought about both good and bad changes - I worry for artists who are missing out on royalties due to illegal downloading.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No. JOKE...yes, where do we sign?
Band History:
Ooh..too long to tell you, come see us at www.steel-monkey.com for the full horrific details, if you dare...
Your influences?
So many...all blues, rock, reggae, folk, acoustic, I guess just good tunes regardless of what label you might want to shackle them with
Favorite spot?
Wherever we are right now. But also The Isle of Skye by moonlight...
Equipment used:
See the website! Too weird, wonderful and eclectic to name! You wouldn't believe what we've accumulated over the years!
Anything else...?
Our reputation is for delivering a high energy set every time, having fun on stage and making damn sure the audience does too!
