History of smoothmonkey
There will be a history of how we got together in
the first place and all the stuff we've done since then but, until we
get around to writing it, this is as good as it gets:
- Andy formed band, needed singer
- Gav came to practise, could sing, joined band
- Played gigs under some stupid name like Superstition
- Everyone thought we were a Stevie Wonder covers band
- Band split up
- Gav, Andy and Rich formed a new band with drummer Shaun
- Went to pub to think of new name
- Rich suggested 'I want your muff in my face'
- Drank more
- Had hangover, became 'Hair Of The Dog'
- Played loads of gigs including Rox On The Prom in Bognor, a beer
festival in Lincolnshire, a few support gigs for larger bands, loads
of pubs, more beer...
- Gav left
- Clint joined
- Band split
- Gav, Andy and Rich reformed...again
- Played acoustic gigs for a couple of years
- Gav left
- .........nothing
- Gav phoned Andy
- Drank more beer
- Formed new band (well, two of us)
- Called ourselves smoothmonkey
- Wrote a whole website in 15 minutes before work
Think that's about it.
