Part Chimp are a band from Camberwell in London that were formed by Tim Cedar, Jon Hamilton and Nick Prior in 2000. Current line-up is Tim (vocals & guitar), Jon (drums), Iain Hinchliffe (guitar) and Tracy Bellaries (bass).

They play rock music with elements of noise. Both on record and live, Part Chimp have a reputation for sounding extremely loud. Their records are released in the UK by Rock Action Records, in Europe & Japan by Play It Again Sam, and in the US by Monitor Records.

Tim Cedar & Jon Hamilton had previous played together in Ligament. Nick Prior (bass), formerly of Scarfo, joined Ligament for their last tour. When Ligament split, Tim, Jon & Nick played one show as Part Chimp in late 2000 before adding Iain Hinchliffe on guitar. Nick Prior left the band in Feb 2004 and was replaced by Joe McLaughlin who subsequently left amicably in Summer 2006 but may be involved in future recordings. In 2008 Tracy Bellaries (ex-Ikara Colt) has joined on bass.

Tim Cedar has also played with: Ligament, Penthouse (aka Fifty Tons of Black Terror), Sophia, The Loveblobs, Action Swingers, Scarfo, Cass McCombs, Iron Kat, Beef Wellington, & Westminster Brown. He also records/produces many other bands at Dropout Studio in Camberwell.
