Always making new music\, always stretching musical boundaries. With worldwide hits such as the classics “Digging Your Scene” and “It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way”\, they became household names but there was always so much more going on with these simian soulsters. Their relentless desire to move forward\, to collaborate\, to be socially engaged and to have something to contribute. Back in the 80’s they worked with people as varied as Curtis Mayfield\, Paul Weller\, Cheb Khaled and even Jamaican Toaster EEK-a-Mouse!. \n“No band since The Clash in their early 80’s heyday had attempted to act as a sounding board for such politically engaged\,eclectic music” Dr Robert even took time out to release one of the UK’s first homegrown ‘house’ records “Wait”\, his top 5 duet with Chicago soul diva Kym Maselle. And so the journey continues…Reformed in 2008 The Blow Monkeys are about to release possibly their finest work yet “The Wild River” (Oct 17) their fifth album since reforming Now joined by ex Galliano stickman Crispin Taylor on drums they are reinvigorated and recharged. In concert they are indeed a sight to see. Soulful\, funky and smart. These Monkeys continue to evolve. From their beginnings on the underground club scene right through to their appearance on the biggest selling soundtrack of all time “Dirty Dancing” and beyond. Long may they swing. \n[gs-button size=”false” content=”Tickets” url=”https://www.theoldcourts.com/shows/the-blow-monkeys/” icon=”false”] \n  \n  URL:https://www.wiganeventsguide.com/event/the-blow-monkeys/ LOCATION:The Old Courts\, Crawford Street\, Wigan\, WN1 1NG\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Live Music & Gigs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.wiganeventsguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/blow-monkeys.png GEO:53.545664;-2.6340963 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Old Courts Crawford Street Wigan WN1 1NG United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Crawford Street:geo:-2.6340963,53.545664 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20220723T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20220723T230000 DTSTAMP:20240416T183956 CREATED:20220715T104229Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220715T111338Z UID:10000563-1658604600-1658617200@www.wiganeventsguide.com SUMMARY:Strange Doors DESCRIPTION:The Strange Doors are the UK’s most authentic tribute to the legendary American band The Doors. \nThey’ve been thrilling audiences since 2010 with their note for note recreations of The Doors’ unique rock music and seeing them perform is as close as you can get to a concert by the real Doors. They have played all over the UK\, including a headline slot at Festwich (the UK’s biggest free music festival)\, toured France as part of Doors’ late lead singer Jim Morrison’s seventieth birthday celebration\, and even had the honour of performing with musician Jerry Scheff who played bass on the Doors’ classic album L.A. Woman. \nAt a Strange Doors performance audiences will experience ad-libbed poetry\, a singer that jumps into the air and writhes on the floor (whilst conjuring the Lizard King with his rich baritone voice)\, those crisp organ sounds of Ray Manzarek cutting through the air with beautiful precision\, bluesy slide guitar and powerful\, yet subtle \ndrumming that punctuates the music and vocals. The music of The Doors continues to have the beguiling power to reach into souls in a way no other music can\, whether it be the moving intrigue of Riders On The Storm\, the expansive energy of L.A. Woman or the sheer exuberance of the out-and-out rock classic\, Light My Fire. \nThe Strange Doors invite audiences to immerse themselves in the vibe\, to move to the hypnotic beat and to break on through to the other side. \nIs everybody in?
