They also wrote an original song with Taiwanese singer Stanley Huang, "Spacemonkeyz Theme", which appeared as a B-side on "Lil' Dub Chefin'", and did a remix of the Herbert Grönemeyer single "Mensch".
Like the Gorillaz, they are a virtual band (though not to the degree that Gorillaz are). According to the fictional Gorillaz biography Rise of the Ogre the group is an actual team of monkeys used in space tests who had stolen the tracks from an unattended Kong Studios and remixed them without Gorillaz' permission.
Since the release of Laika Come Home the band has not recorded or released any new material. However, in 2005 and 2006 Darren Galea performed turntables as part of the Gorillaz live band on all of the Demon Days Live dates.

The lyrics of Spacemonkeyz's Come Again seem to be about the experience of partying and enjoying music, specifically dub music, which is a genre of music that originated in Jamaica in the 1960s. The song talks about the sweet sensation of being at a party and how it is a situation that one doesn't want to stop. The lyrics seem to suggest that the inspiration for this good feeling comes from the music, which is like a drug that keeps people going.
The line "money or stop" appears repeatedly in the song, which could be interpreted in a few different ways. It could be referring to the fact that people need money to keep partying, so they have to keep going, or it could be saying that the music is so good that it's worth spending money on to keep the party going. It could also be a comment on capitalism, suggesting that everything is about money, and that the desire to keep going is dependent on financial resources.
Overall, the lyrics of Come Again seem to be celebrating the joy and energy that can be found in dancing and enjoying music at a party, suggesting that the experience is so all-consuming that it becomes addictive and people can't stop until either they run out of money, or the party ends.
