Book us for your gig

We’re an awesome covers band. It’s not just our mums who think that.

We play crowd-pleasers from the 90s, 00s and beyond that the audience know and love. Check out our videos below.

We want to keep your crowd moving, dancing and returning to the bar.

If you have a gap in your schedule across the year, in Hampshire or the surrounding counties, then get in touch. We may be able to help you fill it.

Upcoming Events

Help us to help you

We play the songs that we know will get your party started. We want to make sure that your audience is having a great time so we play songs that we know they’ll stay for.

If anyone starts the evening wearing a tie then it’s our mission to get them wearing it around their head and kneesliding across the floor by 9pm.

We’re available for pub gigs, birthdays, weddings and festivals.

Bit of a weird name, mate?

We are Monkeys Into Darkness!

No, we’re not throwing shade on apes, encouraging existential breakdowns in macaques or running a deep-state programme to send primates into space.

We play a song by the Arctic Monkeys followed by a song by The Darkness and we run the end of one song into the start of another.

So, when we’re in the studio and deciding which song to play next, we often suggest “monkeys into darkness”?

Thus, the band name was created.

You’re welcome.
