In episode 117 we’re going back to the mid 90s with a band that captured the wild spirit of Madchester, acid house, and Britpop all in one cosmic mash up Space Monkeys!

Formed in Manchester, signed to Factory Records, and produced by none other than Peter Hook from New Order, Space Monkeys were one of the last great acts to ride that post-rave wave blending funk, rock, and psychedelic energy into something truly unique.

Their debut album The Daddy of Them All dropped in 1997, just as the scene was shifting and though their story burned fast, their influence has lingered in unexpected corners of modern indie and dance music

So buckle up we’re heading back to the days of baggy jeans, warehouse parties, and the final days of Factory. This is the story of the Space Monkeys: the band that took Manchester to the moon!

Welcome to The Stupid And Contagious podcast, a podcast focused on bringing you interviews with the bands that defined a generation!

That generation grew up in the 90s with the Grebo bands (Senseless Things, PWEI, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Mega City Four, The Wonderstuff and many more) on the UK side of the pond and quickly joined by the grunge bands (Nirvana, Mudhoney, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and many more) on the US side of the pond.

We are not limiting ourselves to these genres though, we will chart the guitar bands from all genres throughout the decade that was the 1990s.

If you are into 1990s guitar music or just a music lover in general then this is the podcast for you!
