Monk & Canatella
Monk & Canatella is an indie/breakbeat musical group from Bristol, England, formed by Simon Russell born in 1973 and Jim Johnston (born 1975) in the mid-nineties.[1] Their 1996 album on Cup Of Tea Records, Care in the Community, is a prime example of the trip-hop sound.
The band later moved to Telstar and released a second album Do Community Service in 2000. The artwork for this album was an early collaboration with the Bristol born graffiti artist Banksy.[2] The band parted company with the label shortly afterwards.[3] The band is still producing music.
The band released the single "Straighthead" on YouTube on 23 December 2007.
Trip-hop band Portishead included a track titled "A Tribute to Monk and Canatella" on their 1994 CD single "Numb",[4] a year before Monk & Canatella's first release.[1]
