Spongey Monkey started up about 1994, after the fall of another fanzine aptly named ZINE. The two main monkeys are Chris Joy and Kelly E. In fact, aside from occasional contributions from friends, we're pretty much it. We got invloved with music, the "scene", zines, etc... while students at Oregon State University. Nowadays (having graduated a several  years ago) we live in Diamondhead, Mississippi. Kind of strange, we know, but we both have decent jobs out here. And really, there is a small scene with some really cool people. As with any out of the way corned of the universe, you just have to dig a little deeper to find the scene and /or musically-oriented folks. We're everywhere!

Anyway...we published our last issue in 2001 (issue #11). After that we tried doing web reviews for the plethora of cool music that was being sent to us. We gave up on that before long and this website has lingered relatively untouched (except for Chris' local shows listing) since then. So now what makes us think we'll keep a blog up? Perhaps we've been itching to keep writing. We know that everyone has an opinion, but not everyone gets off their ass to write it down! Hopefully we will. Wait & see...
