Bitten By A Monkey

About Me

Steve Myers and brothers Roland & Dylan Bates have been playing, composing, and philosophising together regularly since the mid 80s when they were members of a band called Blood, Blood and Blood.
Their first performance as Bitten By A Monkey took place in October 1997.
The band has since played at Hampton Court, the Vortex Jazz Club, the British Museum (when they wrote and performed original music for a production of Aristophanes’ Wasps), the Klinker, Chelsea Physic Garden, the White Bear Theatre and other venues.

The above improvisations are from the band’s second album,
I Had A Little Not-Tree, recorded at the Cowshed by Joe Leach. MyGen Profile Generator
