Space Monkeys

Space Monkeys

The Space Monkeys were a four-piece band from Manchester, England, signed to Factory Records and Interscope Records in the USA. The band members were Richard McNevin-Duff, Tony Pipes, Dom Morrison and Chas Morrison. After working with the band for a number years, Neil Walsh (guitar and keyboards) later joined the band.

They released their first album, "The Daddy of Them All", on November 4, 1997. The single "Sugar Cane" from this album reached 58 on the Billboard chart. The music video for this single was the second video from famed photographer David LaChapelle and featured hip hop legends Rock Steady Crew. The band toured the US and Europe with Smash Mouth and Third Eye Blind. The song "Drug Soup" was recorded especially for and features in the soundtrack of the Gwyneth Paltrow movie "Sliding Doors".

The band went on to record a second album, "Escape from the 20th Century", which included tracks produced by legendary hip hop producer Prince Paul. However, due to the collapse of Factory Records and other problems, this album was never released and resides somewhere in a studio vault. The group disbanded shortly after this; Richard McNevin-Duff, Tony Pipes and Neil Walsh went on to release an EP under the guise of "Munki", and Chas Morrison joined avant-garde drum and bass group RSL.

Richard McNevin-Duff, Tony Pipes and Neil Walsh also produced remixes for the Space Monkeys and others under the name The Chopper Squad.
