2 Sick Monkeys formed in December 2000, as a live two piece bass and drums, primarily to support Darrin Mooney (Primal Scream) at a drum event in Swindon.
They have now played over 500 gigs (270 in the last 3 years) including 6 European tours.

They have built up a strong live following and have supported bands such as Subhumans (twice), Anti-Nowhere League (twice), GBH, Discharge, The Varukers, Total Chaos (twice), UK Subs, Inner Terrestrials (4 times), The Buzzcocks, Goldblade, 999, Citizen Fish, Targetpoint, Captain Everything, Neville Staples, The Vibrators, Sonic Boom Six, The Fight and Lord Bishop Rocks.

Their influences range from the complex rhythms of Nomeansno to the catchy melodies of Green Day.

September 2002 saw 2 Sick Monkeys release their debut 5-track CD “Full Flavour Behaviour”, their second CD, the 4-track EP, “Nowhere Nothing”, followed in August 2003.

The debut album “Curse of the Monkeys” was released in October 2005.

2008 saw them release the new "Why?" EP (in October) and carry on with the relentless gigging.

2009 will bring a new EP, a couple of split releases and the second Studio Album (due for a late summer release).

Each year has seen the amount of gigs increase and everywhere they’ve played they’ve been asked back.
They describe themselves as tight, melodic and percussively in your face……..Basically……

Small Outfit, Big Sound!!
