Fight Like Apes on Tubridy Tonight

The new EP releasing November 2nd on FIFA Records
featuring the lead track Do You Karate?



Having created a huge amount of interest on the Irish music scene over the last few months with their debut sell-out EP "How Am I Supposed To Kill You If You Have All The Guns?", Fight Like Apes return this November 2nd with another splendid electric punk rock offering, “David Carradine Is A Bounty Hunter Who’s Robotic Arm Hates Your Crotch”.



A four track veritable double chocolate fudge cake of music, the EP features lead track Do You Karate? – a thumping bass driven flourish of a song, Canhead – a concise ode to fish and chips, Accidental Wrong Hole – ‘nuff said, and Snore Bore Whore – possibly their finest musical offering to date with lead singer Maykay at her breathy vamp best.



Some interesting terminology for hats is also included for absolutley free in the EP. How nice is that?



In recent months Fight Like Apes have toured extensively with their debut release, played their first ever major Irish festival with a performance at this year’s Electric Picnic and kicked some serious ass at HWCH. The band are now plugged in and charging for their upcoming performance at the CMJ Music Marathon in New York on 17 October and their October/November tour around Ireland. All live dates below.



As well as winning first prize for imaginative and lengthy EP titles, Maykay (pan and brush woman), Pockets (found a wetsuit man), Adrian (baseball angel man) and Tom (broken glasses man) have been all over the UK in a swanky tourbus a not-so-swanky van for the last few months performing their unique combination of loutish vocals, brutish bass and digital distortion on stage. The Apes have also just released the popular ‘Jake Summers’ as a 7” vinyl in the UK with Fierce Panda’s little sister label, Cool For Cats and have been championed by Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio 6 and by pretty much everyone in XFM. They will return to the UK in December for a 10 date Artrocker tour.



Fight Like Apes are influenced by many interesting and wonderful things (including B-movies, anger, jealousy, greed, goblins, kung-fu, bad television and wrestling), describe their unique sound as karate-rock, hate guitars, often play pots and pans on stage and are really very lovely people. Despite the screaming.



With a loyal fanbase and an ever-increasing following of stalkers, Fight Like Apes will release their second EP, “David Carradine Is A Bounty Hunter Who’s Robotic Arm Hates Your Crotch” with FIFA Records on November 2nd 2007. It’s available from all the usual good record stores or you can order online @ www.roadrecs.com. Tracks will also be available for download from www.downloadmusic.ie and iTunes.



No cow died – remember that people, it’s a lovely turn of phrase.

Fight Like Apes pop quiz - true or false?



The FLApes sound engineer goes by the name of David Francis Patrick Broy, has great hair, a lovely smile and tends to bring the ruckus when whiskey’s involved.



Pockets recently had his car NCT’d…and awaits his driving test with bated breath.


Tom is having a laff.



Penelope Party Pants action figures with ‘vodka drinking arm’ action are going on sale nationwide this Christmas.



FLApes ‘borrowed’ a golf cart at this year’s Electric Picnic festival and joyrided off with Sonic Youth’s rider. They were forcefully removed.



Tom likes hats.



Fight Like Apes did not mispell the word ‘whos’ on the EP cover. They have decided to re-write the english language.



Maykay was recently proposed to in Crawdaddy, Dublin by a young man with his own car and a good job.



Some of Pockets favourite topics include boners, hot beef injections, stage 5's, hot lunchs, hot carls, glass bottom boats, reverse pile drivers and flowers.



Adrian is prone to having lost in translation moments with bands from Japan.
