The Monkey House

Spidermonkey is off school with the flu. So to embarrass him cheer him up, here's a video of his old band, Late Start.



They reformed by special invitation for two days in September so the Creative Arts and Media Diploma class could make videos of them. Spider wishes to make it clear that he is in no way responsible for the visuals, and that includes the wig. For those who don't know him well, he's the tall guitarist and this was before the great haircut.

There's another one too: Down in the Ground.

It ain't easy being a death metal band. Or possibly a thrash metal band. I get them mixed up.

Spare a thought for Necrokinesis, Spidermonkey's band.

Just as they were about to do some recording, Spider broke his finger. Now, just as he's starting to play again, their bassist has broken his arm. (His own arm, not Spider's.)

I don't know how he did it. The story at school is that he climbed to the very top of the glass roof of the Grafton Centre, and fell all the way down.

Next week, they're all off to Norfolk, camping with the Duke of Edinburgh* Wish them luck. (Yes, they are taking guitars.)
