| dbo:abstract | The Blow Monkeys je britská hudební skupina, která patřila k představitelům nové vlny osmdesátých let. Tvořila ve stylu sophisti-pop, který spojoval vlivy pop rocku, soulu a funku. Skupinu založil roku 1981 zpěvák a kytarista , známý jako Dr. Robert, dalšími členy byli baskytarista Mick Anker, saxofonista Neville Henry a bubeník Tony Kiley. Název pochází z doby, kdy Howard žil v Austrálii, kde bývají domorodí hráči na didgeridoo označováni jako „foukající opice“. Skupina byla součástí sdružení levicově orientovaných hudebníků . Jejich nejúspěšnějším albem bylo She Was Only a Grocer's Daughter (v roce 1987 se dostalo na 21. místo žebříčku ); jeho název, který v překladu znamená „Byla jenom hokynářova dcera“, je narážkou na původ tehdejší premiérky Margaret Thatcherové. Prvním singlovým hitem byla v roce 1986 píseň s tématem epidemie AIDS Digging Your Scene (dvanácté místo na žebříčku UK Singles Chart a sedmé místo na Hot Dance Club Play). Další úspěšnou skladbou byla It Doesn't Have to Be This Way, která se umístila v roce 1987 na pátém místě UK Singles Chart. Skupina se rozpadla v roce 1990, kdy se její členové vydali na sólovou dráhu. V roce 2007 obnovila činnost a vydala čtyři řadová a jedno koncertní album.

The first single, "Live Today Love Tomorrow," was released in 1982. They subsequently enjoyed a successful career with several hit singles and albums across the 1980s before splitting up at the beginning of the 1990s. Their first hit song was "Digging Your Scene," which hit No. 12 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in August 1986. They had four albums and eleven singles in the UK charts between 1986 and 1990. In late 2007, the original band members reunited. They have subsequently released six albums of new material. (en) The Blow Monkeys (in Italia, dove l'articolo determinativo inglese «the» cade regolarmente nei nomi delle band anglosassoni, semplicemente Blow Monkeys) sono un gruppo musicale britannico, noto soprattutto negli anni ottanta, il cui stile rientra genericamente nella categoria del cosiddetto «sophisti-pop» (contrazione di «sophisticated pop», "pop sofisticato" - cfr. per esempio, la band coeva dei Dead or Alive, il cui primo album s'intitolava appunto Sophisticated Boom Boom), che ha iniziato, nel 1984, come band new wave, trasformandosi in séguito in un act pop rock / funky fabbrica-successi, per poi diventare, infine, un gruppo dance d'avanguardia, acclamato dai fans e dalla critica, ma dagli scarsi risultati commerciali (tranne la Numero 7 britannica Wait, duetto con la diva della house di Chicago, Kym Mazelle, brano uscito poco prima di sciogliersi e a cui si fa idealmente risalire la nascita del cosiddetto sottogenere poi denominato «UK garage»). Scioltisi all'inizio degli anni novanta (quando ha avuto inizio la carriera solista del leader, Dr. Robert), si sono riformati alla fine del 2007, sulla scia di una doppia raccolta di successi, con l'obiettivo di registrare un nuovo disco e l'intenzione di realizzare un tour promozionale, nel corso del 2008.

(sv) The Blow Monkeys — это британская рок-группа, образованная в 1981 году под руководством вокалиста и гитариста «Dr. Robert» (урожденный Брюс Роберт Ховард). В состав группы вошли также: ударник Тони Кили, саксофонист Невилл Генри, и басист Мик Энгер. Группу легко отличить по строгим, изящным и элегантным классическим костюмам (например, басист Мик Энгер всегда и везде появляется исключительно в котелке) и по мелодиям, напоминающим джаз с примесью поп- и рок-музыки. Отличительной чертой песен также являются тексты на политические темы (особенно из альбома «She Was Only A Grocer’s Daughter», где группа выражает недовольство политикой Маргарет Тэтчер) Сингл «The Day After You», таким образом был запрещен на BBC (на некоторое время, естественно).
