Comin' Out Swingin' - Bucks Battle of the Bands

Trash Monkey to fly the rock'n'roll flag for Newport Pagnell – Friday 19th March sees Majick Music Group (MMG) brining the 2010 Bucks Battle of the Bands to town! The Cannon (Newport Pagnell) will be hosting the intimate round one heat so come along for the ride as The Pagnell's homegrown bluesy punk-rock outfit Trash Monkey wield axes with three other hopefuls in the quest for county-wide glory (well... a place in heat two would be a good start).

So don your drinking vessels and prepare for war – every drink you sink on the night will empower you to cast a vote for your favorite rock'n'roll superdudes – so the rules are clear; the band with the drunkest supporters wins – and we like those odds for a change!

Friday 19th March @ The Cannon, High Street, Newport Pagnell – doors 8pm, free entry.

Home brew

As if we didn't spend out time wisely enough by penning some new material for the summer, foresight struck us whilst drinking a beer... "Let's make our own beer!". Hence Trash Monkey's very first batch of booze-to-listen-to-music-to was born.

Under the guise of the 'Wild 'n' Sleazy brewing co.', careful consideration was put into the planning and logistics in order to ensure maximum yield. The outcome was to find the biggest bucket and make as much as possible. Well, like any baby, we're proud to announce that conception went well and the beer is already in its third trimester. We're planning to bring you photos as the beer comes into final fruition, then into the bottling stage and we'll keep you posted on the results. So what's next... we encourage you to get making your own beer for the summer, hopefully in time for the first annual 'Trash Monkey drink beer all day, day' – more details on that later on but if you have any good advice, brewing tips or names for our future yields please get in touch via our facebook group or on myspace

Cheers!
