RAT MONKEY ARE A PUNK BAND FROM THE BLACK COUNTRY AREA OF THE MIDLANDS, NAMELY DUDLEY / TIPTON. IT WAS IN 2002 THAT PERCY (ENTROPY)STARTED JAMMING WITH TINKER (CUM TO BEDLAM) AND ENTROPY DRUMMER KEITH ROBINSON, WITH JUST HAVING A LAFF IN MIND. THINGS DIDN'T WORK OUT AS PLANNED AND THE LINE UP FIZZLED OUT, LEAVING TINKER AND PERCE TO SIMPLY DREAM OF STARDOM. THAT IS , UNTILL PIG THUNDERSTIX HAPPENED TO BUMP INTO TINKER AT A WALSALL FOOTY MATCH. HAVING PREVIOUSLY BEEN IN PUNK BANDS THUNDERBUG AND S.P.S , PIG WAS TO BE THE FINAL STAIN IN THE Y-FRONTS THAT NOW ADORN HIS BELOVED DRUMS…..AND RATMONKEY WAS BORN. REHERSALS BEGAN AT JAMJAR IN CRADELY HEATH, UNTILL A ROOM RENTAL BECAME AVAILABLE, SHARING WITH RUSS' MANY CHANGING TRIBUTE ACTS. GIGS SOON FOLLOWED…THE 2ND BEING A SUPPORT TO SHAM 69, WHICH LED TO PERCY BECOMING VISIBLY SHAKEN IN SUCH LEGENDARY COMPANY, AND LED OFF STAGE JAMES BROWN STYLE BY 2 NURSES……SERIOUSLY THOUGH….THE GIG WAS FUCKIN ACE. A DEMO WAS RECORDED AND FEATURED ON RICH LARD'S "MIDDLEGROUND" COMP CD AND ALSO "PUNKSHIT VOL 2" FEATURED OUR EPIC -DOLEDOSSER. MANY MORE GIGS FOLLOWED BUT IT WAS ALWAYS THE LAFF THAT REMAINED THE CENTER OF OUR AIM.
