Despite the positive response and high profile writers including Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller, Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie, Rivers Cuomo of Weezer and Andy Partridge of XTC, only one new song is so far being played at the shows, Cuomo’s ‘She Makes Me Laugh’.

The Monkees have dates through to October in the USA.
