Saucy Monky are an indie rock band based in Los Angeles, California.

The band is fronted by Dublin-born singer and guitarist Annmarie Cullen (who formerly performed under the pseudonym Annmarie Montade) and East Coast indie girl Cynthia Catania. Their new rhythm section comprises musicians Steve Giles (bass) and Karen Teperberg (drums).

Their debut album "Celebrity Trash" was released in 2003 and spawned two hit radio singles in Ireland - "Flicker" and "Don't Wanna Know Your Name". In the Summer of 2004 they released a remaking of the Divinyls classic "I Touch Myself" which became another hit at Irish radio. The single was followed by their first full-length album "Turbulence" in September.

In 2005 they signed a major distribution deal with the Savoy Label Group and will re-release "Turbulence" in June 2005 across the United States. The first single to be released is "Disco Ball (Boulevard Remix)" - a re-working of an older track from their first album.

In September 2005 the band signed a deal with Measured Records in the United Kingdom which saw the release of the single "Good Day Down" and the "Turbulence" album.

In February 2006 they released "I Touch Myself" as a single; the song was later used on an episode of the TV series Veronica Mars. Other songs by the band have been featured on episodes of Nickelodeon series Drake and Josh, Zoey 101 and iCarly. The band is currently working on their new album in Los Angeles, tentatively titled "Listening to Morrisey".
