Reposted by @theblowmonkeys.bsky.socialDave Ross @daveamitri.bsky.social · 19/01/2026This is one of the great protest songs all wrapped up in Dr Robert's heady mix of jazz, funk and soul. Someone once described The Blow Monkeys as jazz-punk and I like that. 14, yes 14 albums not including Robert's solo stuff and collaborations. One of our unsung greats. @theblowmonkeys.bsky.social 1133

Reposted by @theblowmonkeys.bsky.socialThe Exiled Bristolian @cruiserscreek.bsky.social · 23/10/2025Number 8 in my personal #80sTop30, it’s the wonderful Blow Monkeys. Digging Your Scene, 1986. I love this song & the album it was taken from, Animal Magic. What I really like about the Blow Monkeys is the way that they fully embrace shiny pop music but the lyrics are often surprisingly radical!youtu.beThe Blow Monkeys - Digging Your SceneYouTube video by TheBlowMonkeysVEVO 0121

Only just re-got this on vinyl, so had forgotten what a brilliant album it is. Post-punky, jazzy, dark and sophisticated; brilliant songwriting and musically v sophisticated. Great stuff 👌 #NowPlaying 061

Dr. Robert and the group always do an excellent job and this one is no different. Short but energetic songs here that are all fun listens.
