Monkey around

MonkeyJunk have been having a charming 2010, haven't they? They scooped up an armload of prizes at this years Maple Blues Awards, and picked up a couple more at the Canadian Independent Music Awards and the 2010 Blues Music Awards in Memphis. It's a credit to the vast experience of guitarists Tony D and Steve Marriner and drummer Matt Sobb. And of course it wouldn't be a Bluesfest without a performance from some Tony D-related act, so here they are!

Bring the kids to work action!



More Steve and Matt!



More Steve!



More Matt!



The whole lot!



Guitar action!



Grimacing action!



They're still on tour, hitting the last few Bluesfests.

• Show reminder: New Teeth, The Gallop and Pruf Rock are at The Rainbow; Ceremonial, Insides Out, and Deformatory get nasty at Cafe Dekcuf; Wax Mannequin, The Kettle Black, Ship Shapes and Mike And The Valentines are at the Clock Tower, which I hear is trying to put a few more shows on.
