Yes indeed, a New Breed are well and truely BACK!!!

After a hectic summer of football, holidays and hard partying we are back on course, rejuvinated and ready for some really exciting stuff!

First of all, we are back in the studio this weekend (5th and 6th Sept) to put the finishing touches to our first full length studio album! 'IGNORANCE IS THIS' will be available very soon and we can't wait!

We also have some quality shows coming up for you to get all excited and wet over. 

September 18th sees us return to the Ritz in Manchester for a headline show. Those of you who came to see us last time will know what an amazing, atmospheric venue it is. The last time we played was arguably our finest performance to date so come along and lets see if we can top it! Coaches and tickets are now available at a very reasonable price indeed! Just get in touch!

October 1st we are back in the capital of the North at MoHo Live, a relatively new venue which is (weirdly) often advertised in the background on Hollyoaks. (I dont watch it, I've been told! Honest!)
This is gonna be a one off gig not to be missed because after us and the other two bands have played the legend that is Howard Marks will be giving one of his infamous talks and then DJing! If you dont know who Howard Marks is, at the height of his career he was smuggling consignments of up to thirty tons of dope, and had contact with organizations like MI6, the CIA, the IRA and the Mafia! Look him up on the web, or buy one of his books!

That is just a taste of what's to come this autumn. Coaches are running to all out of town shows and we need you there!!!

Thankyou please.

Hey hey!
Well it's been quite a long time since I updated the blog and I've got a few juicy nuggets of information for you to chew on!

Firstly, and most importantly, we have been invited to headline a brand new unsigned bands event at the one and only Ritz in Manchester, called 'Break Thru'. (like you haven't already heard)
This is a great honour for us as it is truely, hand on heart, the best venue in Manchester. The list of bands that headlined shows there in the past is an impressive thinng in its self, but the best thing for me is the theatre like set up which delivers great acoustics and the sprung dance floor! It adds to the atmosphere for me when I'm on stage buzzing and I can actually feel the vibrations of the hundreds of crazy people bouncing along with us. Trust me, you won't find a better place to witness and be part of our MOST PRESTIGIOUS SHOW TO DATE!

So heres the deal, its on Friday 3rd April, (not long off now) coaches leaving from the Traf in Nelson around 6.30pm, and from the Lounge in Burnley about 7pm. (If any groups of people would like to be picked up from another pub get in touch and this could be arranged)
The ticket costs you £7 and the coach £6. VMan Events have very kindly offered us and all our fans free entry into another late venue for an after party, should enough people wish to go! We are considering sending one coach back straight after the show at about 12.30am for those who can't hack it, and the other will go on to the after party, assuming theres enough interest. So, basically its set to be a belter and you'd be madder than Brian Mad of Madcastle to miss it!!!

Oh, nearly forgot......

Everyone who does come along on the coaches will receive a free cd which we have recorded last week in a little studio called the Purple Room exclusively for our loyal army of insane wierdos.
The cd is called 'The Purple Room Sessions' and features 4 tracks recorded acoustically with a very atmospheric sound and pure raw emotion. The track list is 'In Fashion', 'Cradle to the Grave', 'Give Me Something' (brand new never before heard track), and 'The Man Who Played God'.
This cd will only be available on this trip.

So what you waiting for? Get in touch with one of the band or Steve via mobile, or email us at anewbreedofmonkey@ntlworld.com and get booked on!

Coming soon....

Professional video shoot for In Fashion. Extras needed! More info soon.
We go back in MJM studios to complete our new album

Until then, thanks and keep the faith.

Well, well, well! It seems that the Manchester music scene can't get enough of a New Breed at the moment! Following our very successful show at the legendary 'Ritz' we have now been invited to HEADLINE a night of music at Manchesters Academy 3 and Club Academy. There will be many bands playing both venues (which are in the same building) and top of the bill is yours truely. This is a massive honour for us, and one can't help but think that this is just a test, that if this gig go's as well as the previous few it will open many doors for bigger, more high profile shows.... who knows!? As most of you will know our following over the last 12 months has been phenominal and is ever growing. It's time to jump on the band wagon people! Get out, get fucked up and see some great bands!!!!!! It's all going down on Saturday 7th Feb. Tickets are £6, and yes of course we are putting on transport! It'll cost you a measley stinkin tenner for your ticket and return coach, which will run from Nelson and Burnley. We are just too good to you aren't we! Inside the venue there are a few bars and on the ground floor there's a student union bar with drinks offers and a smoking area. What more do you need? So we hope to see you there, supporting us as always at the most prestigious show in a New Breed of Monkeys history! So far anyway! Thanks for your continued support. Much love for 2009. Joe
