The Blow Monkeys

I bought some CD's way back when of the Blow Monkeys and have reawakened myself to thier music. I am wondering if they were any good live. The musicianship and the production is first class. They have a very full sound and are extremely tight. Is there another band that is similar to that sound? Animal Magic has got an extremely complicated tempo and that is not available to schlop musicians. What does anyone know and did they have a good following? They may be a little too far back for some to remember, lest they were still in diapers back then. This whole average age of Superdukers shines a whole new light on just how far back subject matter can go. Most of the stuff I post should be listed in the ancient history threads

Never heard of em,, call me old,,, Elvis,, Roy,, Buddy ,, and the killer Jerry Lee ( who cares if he married his cousin) after Boy George I went back to the roots of rock 'n roll and stayed,,,really DD "blow monkey's" WTF

I remember them being on top of the pops in the 80s mate but thats about it. l discovered metal in 1985 and that was it...my fate was sealed!

Interesting that you've discovered them now though
