Saucy Monky

The band is fronted by Dublin-born singer and guitarist Annmarie Cullen (who formerly performed under the pseudonym Annmarie Montade) and East Coast indie girl Cynthia Catania. Their new rhythm section comprises of musicians Steve Giles (bass) and Karen Teperberg (drums). Their debut album Celebrity Trash was released in 2003 and spawned two hit radio singles in Ireland - "Flicker" and "Don't Wanna Know Your Name". In the Summer of 2004 they released a remaking of the Divinyls classic "I Touch Myself" which became another hit at Irish radio. The single was followed by their first full-length album Turbulence in September. In 2005 they signed a major distribution deal with the Savoy Label Group and will re-release Turbulence in June 2005 across the United States. The first single to be released is "Disco Ball (Boulevard Remix)" - a re-working of an older track from their first album. In September 2005 the band signed a deal with Measured Records in the United Kingdom which saw the release of the single "Good Day Down" and the Turbulence album. In February 2006 they released "I Touch Myself" as a single. A tour of the UK, although planned several months previously, is expected at some point this year.
