History
Tim Cedar and Jon Hamilton had previously played together in Ligament. Nick Prior (bass), formerly of Scarfo, joined Ligament for their last tour. When Ligament split, the threesome played one show as Part Chimp in late 2000, before adding Iain Hinchliffe on guitar. Nick Prior left the band in February 2004 and was replaced by Joe McLaughlin. In 2008, Tracy Bellaries (ex- Ikara Colt) joined on bass, playing on the ''Thriller'' record before leaving in early 2010. After a brief band hiatus, Joe McLaughlin rejoined and played on the ''Iv'' lp, ''Cheap Thriller'' and the 2021 release ''Drool'' alongside touring bassist Robin Freeman.Band
