CELEBRITY CHIMP
Creative Director, lyrics, Green Pea Productions
High concept band - two London residencies - a slew of summer festivals including Greenman, Camden, and Wickerman - a 5 track EP, recorded at Sawmills Studios, Cornwall - UK tour - merchandise - Chimpagne and Tees
Fronted by a banjo and two drums, standing in for the AWOL drunken washed-up celebrity chimp and his arsehole manager, the Chimps took over the 73 bus route (bendy and free) on Chimp Nights for an epic year, culminating the EP of myth: Celebrity is the New Royalty.
Bfter a fateful support gig for Chas and Dave, the Chimps went the way of so many talented mothers: Betty Ford. RIP.
Unforgettable.
