The Glasshouse

Evolving. Engaging. Never dull new wave.

British pop-soul group The Blow Monkeys are embarking on a new tour, coming off the back of the band releasing their 13th studio album Birdsong.

The album’s release was the first since the group signed to Creation Youth, the British independent record label launched by Alan McGee – the Creation Records founder who famously signed artists like Oasis, Primal Scream and My Bloody Valentine – and producer and Killing Joke bassist Martin ‘Youth’ Glover.

After making their debut over 40 years ago, The Blow Monkeys became household names when classic singles ‘Digging Your Scene’ and ‘It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way’ became worldwide hits and their cover of Leslie Gore’s 1963 song ‘You Don’t Own Me’ featured on the biggest selling soundtrack of all time, Dirty Dancing.

But there was always so much more going on with these soulful troubadours, with them possessing a relentless desire to move forward, collaborate, to be socially engaged and to have something to contribute.
