Define your genre in five words or less:
Pub garage rock’n’roll .
What do you love about making music?
The freedom involved. There’s no limit’s or boundaries, especially in this day and age.
If you could assassinate one person or band from popular music, who would it and why?
Ahhhh I think this is a given. Nickelback, I don’t think an explanation is needed, is it?
What can a punter expect from your live show?
A hell of a time with really loud guitars, James Toohey sporting his pajama pants, no Nickelback, blues action, girls, VB and some.
Do you have any record releases to date? What are they? Where can I get them?
We have a single due out on Friday October 12. The songs called Seven and you can grab copy for free on entry to any of our upcoming shows.
What’s the strangest place you’ve ever played a gig, or made a recording?
We played a show with our buddies The Cairos in some town North of Brisbane awhile back, Toowoomba? I’m pretty sure the stage was a TAB throughout the day and the crowd just kept asking me if I knew how to play Back In Black. It’s nice to get out of the comfort zone.
What’s your favourite song, and why?
Lately we’ve all been enjoying Sittin On The Dock Of The Bay by Otis Redding. This song eased the cabin fever on the 11 hour drive to Sydney. Such a humble voice, Otis.
If you could go on tour with any musician or band, who would it be?
Would have to say The Hives. Those guys set the standard when it comes to live music and performance. Would really think we’d learn a thing or two!
APES launch their single Seven at Cherry Bar on Friday October 12.
