60 Seconds With… Apes

If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes  your stuff
who would it be and why?

Probably Lou Reed, the guy is an absolute hero! A pat on the back from scruffy Lou would be amazing, he’s influenced so much things I love about music from sexuality in rock’n’roll, fashion, song writing…his mark on music is legendary so I would definitely love to show him our chops.

If you could assassinate one person or band from popular music, who would it and why?

I would assassinate the shit out of Simon Cowell, the curator of those horrible reality music TV shows like American Idol and The Voice in America and England, what an absolute piece! And don’t get me started on his smug-ness and attitude, I hate that guy.

Which band would you most like to have a battle/showdown with?

Kingswood! They’re like our arch nemeses, a good old fashion punch on with Kingswood out the front of The Espy or something would be great. We do love Kingswood but a showdown would be very entertaining.

Do you have any record releases to date? What are they? Where can I get them?

We have our debut EP Helluva out now. It’s available worldwide through iTunes and other digital distributors such as Amazon etc. You can stream it on Spotify and Rdio too. We have a limited run of EPs available on tour and they’ll be made available through Bigcartel soon via mail order.

Describe the best gig you have ever played.

Last week probably when we played the EP launch at The Workers Club. It was great fun! The place packed out and we played our arses off and everyone stormed the stage at the end, “nek minnit” wake up with a hangover in South Yarra.

 

What have you got coming up?

Well we’re paying The Toff Wednesday July 10 with Drunk Mums, our mates Bad News Toilet and The Good Morrows. It’s $10 and promises to be a sick night with such a sick lineup.
