Britain has been at the cutting edge of musical fashion and style for over 50 years and its this achievement that Monkiejamm celebrate. They pay tribute to groups such as The Who, The Kinks, The Move, The Rolling Stones and The Beatles, who defined and shaped the 60s sound, continued through the 70s and 80s by Pink Floyd, The Police, The Jam, David Bowie, U2, T-Rex, The Specials, The Undertones, The Buzzcocks, Madness and The Clash. Monkiejamm then take us through the British explosion of the 90s that Oasis, Blur, James, Primal Scream, Radiohead, The Stereophonics and Supergrass provided. All these groups contributed to inspire modern bands such as Coldplay, The Kaiser Chiefs, The Fratellis and Snow Patrol, which Monkiejamm tackle with the same enthusiasm.No matter what style or decade, Monkiejamm deliver the rich and diverse sound of Britain in all its glory. Cool Britannia rocking all the way!
