Monkey Bizzle

West Country Hip Hop

Hailing from the depths of the west country's darkest crevices and armed with a set of technics, Monkey Bizzle set the scene alight with their rib-tickling hip-hop, funk. With more dreads than an anxiety attack, the Bizzle swing through genres with tounge-in-cheek sarcasm over the deepest of grooves that not even a lathe could cut. High energy lyrics and a Scrumpy & Western charm, like Gloucesters

You know our bass player Ian right?
If not, why don't you know our bass player Ian?
Just ask yourself that question a few times?

The reason being that not only is he notoriously the most infamous legend on the low end but his also incredible fire hooping wife Jo and him have embarked on probably the most incredible journey raising money for ADHD UK.

From Somerset to Lands End to John O'Groats and back to Somerset all in their TukTuk. Jo on the other hand in Scotland has paddle boarded the entire Caledonian Canal, a stretch of water that joins the east and west coasts of Scotland.

The link below is where you can follow their journey and donate if you can which would be amazing.

Well, last night was an incredible one for us. There was so much energy in the barn and probably our best Outcider Festival performance to date.

We continuously give huge props to the Fuelled By Cider crew for the opportunity, Fernhill Farm - An Arcadian Place to Stay for the venue, and an even bigger thanks to you as the audience who brought the ruckus.

We will be in you tearing up the shearing shed at 9pm.

It's been a close call for us as to whether or not we would be playing as the full band due to our skins man Cerys expecting a little one as of yesterday.

So far, it's a no-show, which means for us it's gonna be a rockin' show. If you see him rushing off out back now, you know ๐Ÿ˜‰.

All narcotics & adult apple juice should be consumed on site in front of the band for the full effect to kick in.

Ever thought our bassist is a bit of a nutter on stage?

That's nothing compared to when he's off stage!!!

This summer Ian and his lovely wife Jo, will be spending 16 days driving their tuk tuk the whole length of the British mainland from Lands End in Cornwall to John O'Groats in Scotland and BACK AGAIN!!!
While in Scotland Jo will also paddle board the entire Caledonian Canal, a stretch of water that joins the east and west coasts of Scotland.

The reason for these 2 acts of madness is to raise money and awareness for a charity that is very close to their hearts, ADHD UK.

Please click on the link to find out more about their trip, the charity and how ADHD diagnosis has affected their lives.

Please donate whatever you can to support Ian and Jo's mission and help them raise as much money as possible to help the millions of people affected by ADHD.

For those who could not make it last night, we debuted a new track titled 'My Mates Band' dedicated to The The Skimmity Hitchers. Not only was the track written directly underneath one of them badgers, but their facial expressions were exactly what we had hoped for.

Excerpts by Monkey Bizzle

65 million years it was concluded that 5 primates flourished in Eurasia and migrated south from Europe into Africa. The 5 surviving primates hid amongst the land and during their prolonged wait discovered the opposable thumb which led to conjuring up sounds from various objects far different to any they had previously encountered.

Fast forward to 2017 AD the 5 primates also known as 'Monkey Bizzle' went through some vast changes and somehow adapted to the 21st century way. By using their newly trained phalanges they curate noise amongst their tribes and thus, spread their sounds far across the terra firma.

Now residing in the West Country, Monkey Bizzle are set to escAPE amongst the humans so keep a MONKEYe out as they will be GIBBON you an explosive show that will PRIMATE you to go kaBABOON.
