PHAT Bristol are delighted to bering you the launch party for "Monkey", the brand new single from the exciting upcoming Bristol artist HECTOR WHO LIVED.

‘Monkey’ feels like a mature, dedicated and introspective release from an artist best known for light hearted and story based music. With Hector's dedicated array of musical achievements, access to a personal and extravagant track like ‘Monkey’ feels like an intimate treat; the space in the groove is remarkable, and the word play and vocal performance are heartfelt and deadly. The stand out feeling however, was that it sits close to Hector's soul, in a way that only solo releases can. ‘Monkey’ is a short and diverse journey leaving you wanting more; more releases and more ‘Monkey’.

Hector will be performing Monkey, as well as a choice selection of some of his other outstanding work, alongside his full band and support will be provided on the night by...
