Booze Monkey

After a failed attempt to revive BLUE & the JADED, Blue formed Booze Monkey with long-time Jaded bassist, Joel Ludwig. The duo released the debut studio album Good Luck Mr. Gorsky, two live records, Savannah Colors and Sippin' Pretty (as well as an unofficial bootleg live album entitled Run Linux Run!) before Joel went his own way.

After taking nearly two years off to compose and record the soundtrack album, South Mountain Magic Blue returned to the studio to record the fourth official Booze Monkey album, 4th St.. It was released on 8 April 2008.

The fifth Booze Monkey album, Cocktail Nation is scheduled for release on 25 October 2011.
