The World Of 13th Monkey

videos: tremor & anality (live at infest)

01:36 PM

Two nice livevideos out of our videoarchives – Tremor und Anality, recorded live August 25, 2007 at the Infest in Bradford UK – uploaded tonight at Youtube and also added to our own videopage!

to mean no harm – marburg postponed

03:23 PM

Sadly we have to announce that the 13th Monkey show at November 14th 2009 in Marburg has to be cancelled at short notice as half of the monkey is “conspicuous by absence” (as our old english teacher used to say). The substitute date will be probably not before mid of next year but we will promise you a nice doped contingent of Aerosol Light Textures as add-on for that date!
We recommend you to have the mechanical impedance transformation with the latest album “Redefining the Paradigm of Bang” until then…

rise of the monkey machines

04:59 PM

There are about 80.000 people living in Marburg, which is situated in the middle of Hesse, Germany. The Philipps university of Marburg is the world’s first and oldest Protestant university – and for sure worth more than one visit! You can go on a university sightseeing tour on Saturday, 14th of November 2009 – at least if you come with enough time to Marburg because your evening program is already planned: starting at 10 pm on that day you will have to be at the Kult Hallen (near the southern train station) where every two months the Rise Of The Machines will happen. A party that combines the best elements of different styles like rhythmic noise, industrial, idm, power electronics, peaktime techno, harsh noise, breakcore and tbm.
At the 14th of November even more machines will rise as we – 13th Monkey – will be the live act of the evening.
And perhaps we will meet again at the old university. Remember there should be always time for sightseeing!

fashion rules! 13th monkey shirts

05:50 PM

Summer is near is here! No more freezing!

In order that you don’t have to wear your old (but nevertheless as I have to admit cool and trendy) Spongebob Squarepants shirt all day long we support you running around as trendsetter at the festivals and in the city and produced a stylish shirt with the 13th Monkey logo.

The shirts are in print right now and will be here in about 2 weeks. You can order them right now in the webshop. We ordered 70 shirts (50 men size, 20 girlie size) – so don’t wait too long!

The shirts have a frontside print with the 13th Monkey-logo-writing on it (have a look at the picture if you can’t imagine it). We have men-shirts for the “boys” in the sizes M,L and XL and girlie-shirts for the “girls” in S and M.

Fashion Rules!
