Biography
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. 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. Portishead wrote a song titled "A Tribute to Monk & Canatella" with samples from the Monk & Canatella song "Apology".
