Fight Like Apes Take Over World
Following the success of their two EP's in 2007, Fight Like Apes will digitally release their brand new single Something Global on July 13th 2008 on new Irish label Model Citizen. Fifteen hundred numbered copies of the single will also be made available as a limited edition CD on July 18th 2008.
Recorded in Seattle and produced by John Goodmanson (Death Cab For Cutie, Wu Tang Clan, Los Campesinos, Sleater-Kinney, Bikini Kill, Nada Surf), Something Global is a three-minute blast of electronic punk rock, which captures the energy of FLA's already legendary live performances. Also featured is their version of Mclusky's Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues (a live favourite) and another new Apes' song - Knucklehead.
Hailing from Dublin, and weighing in at over six hundred pounds, Fight Like Apes combine the synth with the sword in a heroic combination of loutish vocals, brutal bass and digital distortion. Formed in 2006 with the simple intention of scaring audiences with 'poppy songs played so obnoxiously that everybody leaves', Fight Like Apes are: MayKay (vocals, keyboards), Pockets (keyboards, backing vocals), Tom (bass, backing vocals) and Adrian (drums).
Fight Like Apes will play the Glastonbury Late n Live stage on June 27, the Glastonbury BBC Radio 1 Introducing Stage on June 28, T in the Park on July 12, Oxegen on July 13, and both Indie-pendence and Castlepalooza on the August Bank Holiday weekend. An nationwide Irish tour will follow - dates to be announced.
Something Global will release online on July 13th and in all good record stores from July 18th on Model Citizen. To pre-oder the single by text message for 1 euro just text 'MUSIC 1224' to 57501.
