About Me



Hello and welcome to the new and slightly improved Chimp Spanner MySpace! Here you'll find complete tracks (and eventually some clips) from the new album currently in production. With a denser sound, more groove, and more cheesy hooks than you can shake a spanner at...it's shaping up to be one hell of a ride. So roll down the windows on your hovercar, turn up your speakers and enjoy the sounds.

I'm currently updating the .com, so keep checking there over the coming weeks for more information and other extras.

For anything and everything else feel free to PM me.

Chimp's April Update!

Hey all!  So I finally got around to updating this thing a little - and boy is MySpace horrible to edit.  Of cours it'd probably be easier if I was just better at it.  But I'm not.  So it will have to...

Monkey Music

Well it's all change at the Casa del Mono!  First of all, I made somewhat of a knee jerk reaction to my day job and...kinda quit it.  Sadly it was my day job that was keeping my rent and bil...

I don’t blog enough...

...and with good reason.  I hate it.  That said, blogs are a way of showing people you're still alive.  And I guess a little self indulgence never killed anyone...So there's a new track...

Okay so I had to take down the 3 parts of Terminus to make room for other stuff - a 4 file upload limit is pretty restricting.  But no matter;Part 1Part 2Part 3I'm actually thinking of re-recordi...

First Blawwg!

So, just a couple of unfinished banner ideas...well, one idea, in two colours!  I'll probably hate the whole idea tomorrow.  In fact, I kinda hate it now.  But it's far too late to thin...
