Johnny Pluse to release the monkey!

Trim's premier export and diplomat of sonic sound, Johnny Pluse, releases his second album 'How Much For The Monkey', this month with a world tour. Over two years in the hard drive, 'How Much For The Monkey' is a testament to the pioneering player that is Johnny Pluse. Having spent his existence in the lab, Pluse, the beat alchemist has conjured a bigger and bolder nufunk sound that incorporates a diverse assortment of appearances from XFM DJ Eddy Temple Morris and Tom Bellamy, aka Losers, folk singer Gerry Tully and the gun-slinger, Billy Ray Fay. Songs such as 'Sick, Sore & Sorry' and 'Market Street Hustle' are Cockney-Trim donations, while 'Rubber Gangsta' and 'Introduce Yo Self' carpet bomb the living room (or wherever you listen to this) in true breakbeat style. 'How Much For The Monkey' is not only a funk-fueled orgy of bass, breaks and brass, but is an insane tour of duty by the maestro. Thanks to Johnny Pluse, the world of 'nufunk' will never be the same again. Find out how much the monkey costs for yourself, when he is finally released on 7th July via Breakdown Records (www.myspace.com/breakdownireland). The How Much For The Monkey World Tour 2010 takes in Fierce Angel, London, UK (nufunk.net party); The Secret Garden Party (The Remix Bubble), Huntington, UK; and on 31st July, McCormack's, Trim, Ireland (Album Launch Party Act 1), followed by Lynch's Motor Bar, Trim, for Album Launch Party Act 2 on 1st August. The Brownstock Music Festival, Essex, UK and the Funk Deluxe, San Diego, California, USA are in the diary for September.
