post-Bearded Theory interview3 Daft MonkeysThursday 29th May 2008 eFestivals managed to have a quick word with 3 Daft Monkeys at Bearded Theory Festival in May 2008. (Question directed at Tim Ashton) What do you think of the Festival so far? Monkey Tim: I don't know, we've literally just arrived so you're better off asking me in an hour or two instead. Okay, but can I ask what made you want to do Bearded Theory? Monkey Tim: Well we played at Rich's birthday party last year and so we're happy to do this too.  So how did he manage to book the likes of 3 Daft Monkeys for his birthday party? Monkey Tim: He just came up to us and asked us in a drunken stupor, and in a drunken stupor we said yes. I was at your gig at Camden Dingwalls and I sensed a bit of a frosty atmosphere before you got into swing of things. Would you agree? Monkey Tim: I can't say really, we don't really play London that much. From the look of your newsletter it looks like you're gonna be busy. Monkey Tim: Yeah, we played Bideford last night, and just came up here today, we're off somewhere else tomorrow, in Scotland next week... Wow, I have to say you are one of the hardest working bands on the festival circuit. Monkey Tim: This isn't hard work. Seriously though, (and directed at their Sound Manager) you guys do a long festival season like last year and then straight into a tour past October November time. Monkey Tim: Yeah, but its part of the fun. (Question directed at Athene Roberts) I've received the latest email newsletter so where else will you be playing this summer, and Glastonbury? Monkey Athene: We're doing Croissant Neuf at 2:30pm on the Saturday and late Friday night in The Bimble Inn.  Brilliant news, I'll be there... Monkey Athene: Just keep an eye on the website; we've just had it updated. Last year at Beautiful Days; no disrespect to Fishbone; but for me it was great to see you on the main stage when they had to cancel. Monkey Athene: Yes Beautiful Days was amazing and probably our best show of last year. You seem to get a big following from Levellers' Fans. Monkey Athene: The Levellers have been great to us, and the fans too, they seem to pop up everywhere we go. As well as Beautiful Days I managed to see both bands live for the Beautiful Nights show at Brixton Academy. Monkey Athene: Yes Brixton was lovely to do and of course we're playing with them again. Okay guys, I'm mind of your time, thanks a lot for talking to me and good luck with the show.  interview by Paul O'Neill photos by Clive Hoadley
