Founded by members of the classic Seattle band Mudhoney, Mark Arm and Steve Turner with guitarist for bands such as the Big Boys and Poison 13, Tim Kerr, The Monkeywrench was intended to be a one-off, single-LP band.
Along with Tom Price (The U-Men, Gas Huffer) plus Martin Bland from Australian noise rockers Lubricated Goat they ended up recording three records to the liking of many.
Earlier this year, the band reunited to play ATP Festival in the UK, plus shows in Seattle and London. With another performance at Sound on Sound Festival in Austin this November, the band decided to add Australia to their schedule making this the very first time The Monkeywrench have come to our shores. With another reunion being very unlikely, this might be your last chance to catch the supergroup in all their glory.
